Dear Scholarship Committee,
I am honored to write this letter in support of Emily Reyes’s application for the California Community Foundation Scholarship. As Emily’s guidance counselor at Riverside High School for the past three years, I have had the pleasure of witnessing her extraordinary academic achievements, her strong character, and her commitment to helping others.
Emily is an exceptional student with a 4.2 GPA, achieved while balancing numerous extracurricular activities and leadership roles. In addition to excelling in advanced placement courses in Calculus, Biology, and English, she has been actively involved in the Student Government Association, serving as Secretary in her junior year and Vice President in her senior year. Her leadership has driven projects such as organizing Riverside’s annual charity walk, which raised over $5,000 for local food banks.
In her community, Emily volunteers at the Riverside Community Library as a tutor, helping younger students with reading and math. She has also been part of a mentorship program for middle school students interested in STEM fields, dedicating her Saturdays to inspiring and guiding young learners. Her compassion and willingness to lend a helping hand demonstrate a remarkable maturity and empathy beyond her years.
One instance that truly highlights Emily’s resilience and determination was during her junior year when she balanced her demanding academic schedule with taking care of her younger siblings after school due to her family’s financial challenges. Despite these personal obstacles, Emily managed to maintain her grades and fulfill her responsibilities, showing her incredible perseverance and dedication.
I strongly believe that Emily’s academic dedication, leadership abilities, and commitment to making a positive impact on her community make her an ideal candidate for the California Community Foundation Scholarship. She has the drive to succeed, the heart to serve, and the resilience to overcome any challenges she may face. I have no doubt she will continue to excel and make meaningful contributions in college and beyond.
Thank you for considering this outstanding student for your scholarship. Should you need any additional information, please feel free to contact me at [Your Email].
Sincerely,
Ms. Maria Turner
Guidance Counselor
