Writing Recommendation Letters<\/h4>\n

URF supports your students in their academic efforts and encourages them to take their hard work to the next level by assisting them in identifying opportunities and successfully navigating the fellowship application process.<\/p>\n

Recommendation letters for national fellowships are different from those that may be submitted for a campus opportunity, for a professional experience, and even for graduate school.<\/p>\n

They are typically one-and-a-half to two pages long and provide a detailed account of the student. More tips from Inside Higher Ed here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
