For Recommenders

Writing a great recommendation letter takes time, and our Selection Committee is grateful for these letters.

Recommendations and ratings are due by 11:59 p.m. ET on Nov. 1. Each candidate must have two letters of reference on file by this time for their application to be considered.

• As soon as the candidate submits your name and email address as a recommender, we will send you an automatic email with a link to an online recommendation form. If you do not receive this email, check your spam filter for an email from parkscholars@ncsu.edu or contact our office.
• Your submitted recommendation will be matched to the candidate file immediately, and the candidate can see the date and time you submitted the recommendation. 
• You will receive an automatic confirmation email after the recommendation is submitted.
• If you receive an error message when attempting to access the form, you may have been removed as a recommender and should check with the applicant.
• You may save your work and return to the online form as often as you like before you submit the final recommendation.
• PLEASE NOTE: We cannot accept any recommendations via email.

Submit your recommendation before 11:59pm on November 1. The candidate’s application will not be considered without both recommendations. Late recommendations will not be accepted under any circumstances.
