College Application Recommender Form

Thank you for helping this student apply to the Phillips Scholarship, which offers renewable, four-year college scholarships to students with financial need who display academic achievement, a commitment to serving others, a strong work ethic, and leadership qualities. The deadline for this form is May 4, 2023.

This form is for an adult who knows the student well (but not a relative), such as a teacher, community service advisor, religious leader, coach or employer. We are particularly interested in a student's concern for others and, if applicable, any special circumstances or challenges they have met. You may answer the questions below and/or address these questions in a letter of recommendation copied and pasted into the field below. If you choose to share your letter, please include these topics, and/or comment briefly in the spaces provided below. 

We strongly recommend that you complete the recommendation form in one sitting. Please plan to work on this recommendation when you will have enough time to complete it.

If you do have to finish the form later follow these steps:

• Click on the box at the top of the page "Save my progress and resume later." You will be asked for your email and a password. Please be sure to write both of them down, especially if you use multiple email addresses. Close the browser window.
• Check for an email from "Form Notification" that contains the link you will use to go back to your form to finish it.
• When you are ready to complete your recommendation, click on the link in the email from "Form Notification," enter your credentials, and continue your work. 

The student has waived their right to see all information submitted by recommenders.  If you have additional comments or concerns, please call the Scholarship Office at  978-744-2111.

Please type into the following box a letter of recommendation for the student. You may also copy and paste a letter into this space if you have already written one. You may include answers to the questions below in your letter or answer them separately. If you would rather answer the individual questions instead of writing a letter of recommendation, simply write "See responses to questions" in the Letter of Recommendation field and answer the questions below.
