Below is the Faculty Recommendation Request Form for students interested in applying for the Fall 2024 Global Scholars Program.
Students are required to request recommendations from two full-time VWU faculty members, but can request an option third faculty member. All recommendations must be academic. This means that recommendations cannot be from a coach, supervisor, etc. While they may know you, we are trying to determine your academic ability to go abroad; therefore, recommendations must come from a faculty member or advisor.
Please fill in all sections of this form. This form is due as soon as possible in order to give your faculty member sufficient time to submit it. Once submitted an email will be sent to your selected faculty member asking them to fill out a form about your academic abilities.
After submitting this request, you should contact your chosen faculty member to let them know a request will be forthcoming. We also suggest that you share your reasons for studying abroad and wanting to study in this particular country and other important information about your study abroad plans with faculty recommenders, so that they can write the best recommendation possible.
