Students Seeking Scholarship Letters of Recommendation


Salt Lake Community College is already gathering SLCC scholarship applications for the 2018-19 school year. The deadline for incoming freshmen is Feb. 1, while the deadline for continuing students is March 1. See our website for more details: http://www.slcc.edu/scholarships/

As part of the scholarship application process, students are required to request a letter of recommendation from someone. Often, students will reach out to SLCC faculty and staff to support them in this endeavor.

Due to the implementation of our new online scholarship application software, all requests and submissions must be done online. No traditional letters of recommendation will be accepted. If you receive an email asking you to provide a recommendation, please respond immediately! Your recommendation could be the difference between a student receiving a scholarship or not.

Follow the steps below to submit your recommendation:

1. If a student requests you as a recommender, you will receive an email from the SLCC Scholarship team (scholarships@slcc.edu) with the subject line, “Request from [Student’s Name].”

2. In the email, there will be a hyperlink that says, “Respond to this request here.” Click on that link to complete your review. If the link will not work, there will be a URL at the bottom of the email that you can copy and paste into your browser.

3. Once on the site, you will be asked to rate the student in five areas on a scale from 0-5. Please answer honestly.

4. You will also be asked to provide any specific examples of the candidate’s abilities and academic potential. These comments are very helpful to reviewers.

5. Click “Submit.”


Any questions you may have can be directed to scholarships@slcc.edu or to Alisa Woodbrey, assistant director of scholarships at ext. 4123.

The Center for Prior Learning Receives an Honorable Mention

Today, SLCC's Credit for Prior Learning department received an Honorable Mention from the  Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL ) and the  Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education  for its intentional approach and for expanding student options to receive credit for prior learning.  Credit for Prior Learning (CPL)  allows students to obtain college credit for knowledge and skills acquired outside of the traditional academic environment. This is exceptionally beneficial for adult learners, who, according to CAEL, have a 17% higher chance of graduating compared to those adults who don’t earn credits through prior learning programs. The CPL department at SLCC was created in 2020 and since then the volume of students served has grown as the department continues to expand. To be eligible for CPL, students must be working towards a degree, certificate, or apprenticeship. Director of Credit for Prior Learning at SLCC, Andrea Tipton, mentioned fee...
