Greetings:
I am writing this letter to recommend my mathematics student for the school`s scholarship program offered by you institution. I was the student`s teacher in mathematics and have known him for the period he has been in my class.
As a student, the student has quite extensively demonstrated a passion for the level of commitment necessary to succeed in college and the love of learning in college and beyond. As an educator, I am delighted to be able to provide this recommendation for such a student who exhibits exemplary performance and determination and as a student who deserves the opportunity. I have accorded him as my student great respect; truly and sincerely believe that my student is a deserving candidate that you will be proud to have representing your institution.
My student exhibits across all borders, great leadership skills, commitment to hard work with positive attitude towards honesty and integrity. The student`s performance in class is exemplary and attains excellent results in tasks and examinations given. The student is talented and goal – oriented, he has excellent communication skills and great interpersonal skills.
He is a devoted team player with positive attitude and great desire to succeed. The student possesses diligence, disciplined in deliver of assigned tasks, and efficient and effective sole worker who requires minimal supervision in undertaking duties. In addition to having firsthand knowledge of the student`s academic achievement commitment, I am also familiar with his educational goals to enable him develop a wide database of knowledge through participatory research and extensive educational experience that would enable him create positive impact to the society. Also, the challenges he will face when exploring financial options for funding college tuition.
He is a dedicated student both in class and out of class. His participation in a variety of extra curricula activities and out of class activities portrays his as a vibrant student who has exquisite and exemplary skills and equally talented in various fields. This participatory nature of the student out class assists in developing his abilities both in class and among his peers as he gains useful social skills and experiences to help meet the demands of the corporate world. His technical and versatile approach to handling of educational concepts and social aspects of the classroom environment enhances his abilities to grasp concepts and his technical knowhow in application of the learnt ideas to the outside world.
His abilities and proficiency stretches from his fluency in verbal and written English. I find it pressing to think of no other student who is well deserving and has attained the commended abilities and faces challenges of funding his progressive education. I therefore wholeheartedly support his application to your institution.
I feel certain and so assured that you will be as impressed as I am and delighted to have him as a student in your institution. As an educator who is fully and wholly committed to assisting deserving students who are hardworking and top achievers in succeeding, I strongly encourage you to consider him for this scholarship. For any questions, and more information regarding the student let me be informed so I can provide any necessary information that would prove important in support of this student. You may reach me at my cell phone number as indicated or most preferably my email address.
