To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing in support of the candidacy of Ms. Jessica Pereira for a scholarship from your institution. Jessica was a student in my Statistics course during the Fall semester 2013 and was also a student in my Survey of Calculus course in Fall 2012. In both courses, Jessica earned a grade of “A”. Jessica is also an active member of Phi Theta Kappa (Alpha Gamma Sigma Chapter) which is the international honor society for Two-Year Colleges.

Jessica is a very intelligent and industrious person. She demonstrates an exemplary work ethic, is trustworthy, altruistic, mature, and responsible both within and outside the classroom. She assumes full responsibility for her academic obligations and completes assignments and other tasks on time while maintaining the high standards of excellence that she sets for herself. Jessica is a truly exemplary student and serves as a role model for other students. Jessica sets high, but attainable goals for herself and has demonstrated through her academic achievement and her campus and community activities that she exemplifies the ideals of Phi Theta Kappa, namely, scholarship, leadership, service, and fellowship. I am fully confident that Jessica is well-deserving of a scholarship and that she will be an excellent addition to your institution’s student body. I recommend Jessica with great enthusiasm.

Sincerely,
