Tips on Writing a Letter of Recommendation for a Scholarship

Hey everyone,

I’ve been asked to write a letter of recommendation for a student applying for a scholarship, and I want to make sure I do it right. Any tips on what to include or how to structure it to make it impactful? Personal stories or examples would be great!

Start with a bang by mentioning how you know the student and their standout qualities. Add a personal story or two that shows their skills or character in action—something real and memorable. Wrap up with a strong, positive note about their future potential.
