More on Recommendations and References:
All Pankow Center Scholarships require at least two references or recommendations; one from a Pankow Center Teacher, and one from another teacher or NON-Relative Adult. It is the students' responsibility to ask for, and obtain a recommendation or reference. Always allow ample time for your references to complete the form or letter in time to be returned before the deadline. Staff members may use the Teacher Recommendation Form (Staff ONLY) in lieu of writing a letter. References from those outside the district may provide a typed letter of reference that students must upload or submit with their application form. It is customary for students to send a Thank You letter to all those who have written a recommendation or reference for you.
Scholarship Selection and Recognition:
Scholarship recipients are selected to receive the award by a committee of L'Anse Creuse Public Schools staff members. Late applications will not be accepted. All award decisions are final. Scholarship winners will be contacted and notified in May.
