Recommendations

How to Ask

Whom should the recommendation letter be addressed?

Recommendations can be addressed to the Members of the Selection Committee and mailed to the office that is offering the funding.

How should they be sent to the office?

Recommendations from Bi-Co (Bryn Mawr or Haverford) faculty can be emailed only. Recommenders from other institutions may email to meet a deadline, but we will need a signed, hard copy before we give the award.  Hard copies should be in a sealed envelope which is signed across the back flap. 

Confirm Receipt

You may offer to bring a copy to us or ask the professor to let you know when it has been sent. If you are at the time of deadline, and have not heard, ask the professor if it has been sent.

Deadlines

The deadline to submit your application is clearly marked underneath each opportunity on the main page. 

Funding Notification

Applicants that receive funding will be notified in mid-April. 

All applicants will receive a letter informing them of the decision rendered. If you are abroad, you will be notified via email.
