• Student’s leadership ability and impact in the school/classroom
• Student’s scholastic work ethic, motivation and achievements

Applicants must send the request for a letter through the application portal.  The educator will then receive an email with a unique link to upload the letter to the student’s application.

Recommendation letters are confidential and are not viewable by the applicant.
