Is a Letter of Recommendation required in the Scholarship Application?
If yes and you are requesting it from the counselor you've been assigned based on your last name, then complete and submit the Senior Profile online by October 15th of your senior year.
If you are asking a teacher for this letter for scholarships, summer programs or college admission, it's best to offer any documents or information, including a resume (and/or the Senior Profile perhaps), past papers or projects which might assist them in the process. Be sure to give the teacher plenty (weeks) of advance notice and check with them about the timeline and deadline. Remember to thank them afterwards.
