Based on my interactions with and observations of this student over the past semesters as her lead instructor and program advisor, highly recommend her for a scholarship for the following reasons: Achievement: The academic progress and personal achievement shown by Melissa is remarkable. She is focused on learning, compared with some students’ attitudes of simply completing assignments. Her understanding of business processes, her own personal development of business/technology skill, and her quality of work make her an exemplary student worthy of scholarship to support her in her academic endeavors. Interaction: | watch for student interaction in a classroom setting to see who the helpers are ~ who takes what they know and apply it by helping others. Melissa is just such a student. She is open and. available to helping others who might be encountering obstacles which she has already faced ‘Melissa brings a warm and positive attitude to the classroom each day ~a personality that will be well-sulted for business when she graduates, Communication: Some of Melissa's classes are in a flex lab setting and/or online, requiring her to be effective with her communication -- both oral and written. This she does without hesitation and with respect. She is able to present her questions or concerns via email or in person in an efficient, effective manner ~ displaying professional courtesy and achieving the desired goal, Success: Based on my previous comments, you are, no doubt, in agreement with me that this student has a high probability rate for future success.
