Dear Mrs. Stevens
You might not know but I am planning to go the Colorado School of Mines. I want to become either a Mechanical Engineer or an Alternative Fuels Engineer. Currently I am applying for the Roosevelt High School Alumni Association Scholarship and I would greatly appreciate a letter of recommendation from you. I have taken both semesters of sophomore science with you. I think you know the quality of my academic work, as well as my ethical and moral values, and how well I could perform in both the academic field and the work force.
As my science instructor you have a personal account of my work ethic and study habits. Your focus on lateral thinking in both of my classes has helped me prepare for college course structure, as well as the intellectually demanding field of engineering. I am coming to you because both scholarships and the actual college application will ask for letters of recommendation.
Please have copies ready for me by February, 22. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate you taking the time to write this recommendation for me. Let me know if you need more information.
Sincerely,
Sam Chambers

Dear Mr. Doyle,

Currently, I am applying for the Roosevelt High School Alumni Association Scholarship, and I would greatly appreciate a letter of recommendation from you. I have taken both freshman Science classes with you, and I am currently one of your astronomy students. I think you know the quality of my academic work, my ethical and moral values, and how well I could perform in both the academic field and the work force.

alum. scholarship final
Sam Chambers
R.H.S. Alum. Scholarship essay
As I read you’re essay prompt I tried to think of some creative story to express my ideas for my future and how I plan to achieve them. Then I realized, you don’t want a fluffy inspirational story, but a more direct approach would be best. I have always been interested in the mechanics and intricate parts of everything. Because of this, I believe being an engineer is the best career for me and going to the school of mines is absolutely the biggest step towards achieving this goal.
I was in sixth grade when I first thought about being an engineer, and when I was telling my mom about it she said the School of Mines is the leading school of engineering. My mom really did talk to me like that when I was a sixth grader. Since then I have really focused on my grades and taking classes that will help me in the future. I have taken an agricultural mechanics or an industrial arts class every year that they have been offered, and they have shed light on different parts of an engineer’s job. In these classes, I have learned, not only how to use a multitude of tools, but I have also learned how to draft and manage a mass production situation.
Engineering is a relatively broad field, and this has made it hard for me to decide which specific division to go into. I have put a lot of thought into the matter, and decided on either engineering in alternative fuels or a mechanical engineer. Since my major area will lead me to a job after I graduate, my ideal job would be engineering cars for either Ford or Chevy. I would really enjoy integrating new technology into affordable cars and do so in the U.S.A.
In order to get into a top engineering career, there are a few steps I have to take to be successful. First and foremost, I have to graduate high school with a strong grade point average. The average G.P.A. at the school of mines is a 3.8 and the average A.C.T. (American College Test) score is a 28. I must excel in all areas of schooling to earn an acceptable score. After getting into the School of Mines I will need money to pay for my education. The estimated cost for a semester this year was just over 25,000 dollars. I plan to apply for the Moose Lodge scholarship, Elevations credit union scholarship and the B.C.A. (Billiard Congress of America) scholarship along with others. So, having your scholarship will only add to the support I need for higher education.
Achieving my dream of going to the School of Mines and becoming an engineer will be the single most difficult and important thing I have ever done. Although grades and dedication play a huge roll, money is always a determining factor. Without the help of scholarships like the R.H.S. Alumni Association Scholarship achieving my dream would be impossible.
