2. Two Letters of Reference 

Reference letters are crucial for your scholarship application. Ideally sent as an email, they may also be in MS Word or PDF format. It's best if the referee has supervised you professionally or academically (e.g., work supervisors, professors), avoiding references from friends or family. For higher consideration, ask your referees to address these points: 

  • How long have you known the applicant? 

  • In what capacity do you know the applicant? 

  • Describe the applicant's work ethic and personal motivation. 

  • Provide an example of the applicant going above and beyond in achieving a goal or overcoming a challenge.
