- Learn more about your accomplishments and goals
- Write a stronger and more personalized letter
- Include details and examples that you may have forgotten to mention
- Highlight experiences that match the scholarship, award, or program you are applying for
- The more information you provide, the better equipped your reference writer will be to support your application.
