Frequently Asked Questions
I've never written a recommendation letter before. Will these help?

Can I use these for academic recommendations?
Yes. We include specific templates for graduate school applications, scholarship recommendations, and professor-to-student references with academic language and structure.
What if I don't know the person very well?
The templates include a version for situations where your relationship is more professional than personal. You'll focus on observable qualities, work ethic, and specific examples you've witnessed.
