Remember people who are writing a scholarship letter of recommendation for you are actually doing you a favor. So, it is your responsibility that you give them ample time to get the best letter written. It is always advisable to give notice to the recommender three weeks in advance. Always make a formal request to the recommender you have picked. Remember to supply your recommender detailed information about yourself, your achievements and your career goals. The information your provide to the recommendation letter writer should include your complete contact information, information required for the application, full title and description of the scholarship award, a copy of your completed scholarship application, your resume, information about your achievements etc.
If you think your recommender has forgotten to write the scholarship recommendation letter you request, remind them of the same gracefully. A good way to remind the person is to ask whether they need some more information about your career goals and past achievements. And after the recommender has written a good letter for you, do not forget to send them a thank-you note for their valuable time and effort.
If you are able to keep all these points in mind, you are definitely going to have a great letter of recommendation written. A great letter recommending you can really make a huge difference by making you a deserving candidate for winning scholarship awards.
