Recommendations

A complete application for the Woodrow Wilson High School Community Foundation scholarship program includes two recommendation forms.

  1. Academic Recommendation: this recommendation comes from someone like a teacher or professor who can best speak to a student’s story of academic achievement, effort, and future pursuits.
  2. Non-Academic Recommendation: this recommendation comes from someone like a coach or advisor or workplace boss who can speak to other elements of the student’s story beyond academics – such as his/her character, interests, work experience, and motivations.

For Students

  • Students are responsible for requesting their two recommendations and sharing the link with their recommenders –  www.woodrowfoundation.org/scholarship-recommendation
  • Students are responsible for ensuring recommendations are requested far enough in advance to be submitted by this year’s deadline. Applications missing a recommendation will be considered incomplete and ineligible for consideration.

Additional Commentary

Some community scholarships award students involved in specific high school activities (such as: athletics, band, vocal and musical theater, visual or performing arts, ESL/dual-language, robotics, or Sweethearts). Some scholarships want to award students who have specific aspirations (in business, entrepreneurship, law-enforcement, non-profit work, early childhood education, international studies or world affairs, medical or dental fields, or a degree in music, music education, choral conducting, or musical theater). Finally, some scholarships award students with specific stories ("diamond in the rough", affiliation with the YMCA, feeder school attendance, financial need, single parent household, minority athlete, or worked during school). If any of the designations above apply to this student, please provide additional commentary. If you would like to review our scholarships in more details, the full descriptions can be found here.

You may attach one supporting documentation, such as a previously crafted letter of recommendation, for this student.
