5. Begin thinking about who you want to ask to write recommendation letters or letters of reference. You want to ask a\u00a0teacher who knows your capabilities and can recommend you based on your academic performance (athletic and fine arts performance as it applies to you). No offense, your best friend\u2019s mom or the local preacher may be able to testify to your\u00a0character, but can he\/she testify to your academic performance with specific detail given to projects or assignments you
\nhave completed? Print off a recommendation form from the scholarship page and look at the areas you will need to fill out.
\nKeep in mind that you need to be detailed when you fill out the form, especially if you are in a large high school. The way you fill out this form can help \u201cjog\u201d that teacher\u2019s memory about you and your performance in his\/her class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
