Letter of Recommendation

A teacher, counselor, work supervisor, community service leader, or an adult familiar with the applicant could serve as a recommender. Recommendations from relatives will not be accepted. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that their recommender emails a letter of recommendation. Recommenders may describe the applicant’s community service, leadership skills, academic accomplishments and future plans. APIA welcomes and appreciates any additional comments about the applicant that will help the selection committee in the evaluation process.
