Thank you for helping students navigate through the process of applying to and paying for college! We value the recommendations you share about your students. The New Application for High School Students and the New Application for College Students will be available in December 2022.
All recommenders should receive an email recommendation request from the applicant, with a link to the student’s personalized recommendation form. Please complete the form and upload any appropriate documents by May 4th, 2023. (If your high school student is using the early response deadline of April 3rd, all recommendations need to be received by April 5th.) Below is information about the recommendations we require for new applicants and helpful links for all recommenders.
To recommenders who have technology constraints that prevent you from using our recommender form, please email our office at staff@spscholars.org and we will find a way to get the necessary information to you.
