PS Provide details about where you are applying and why. Include your statement of intent, personal statement, and/or proposal that reveals what you are planning to do with the fellowship, grant, job, or graduate degree for which you are applying. Information about the program/foundation is useful, especially if it’s one with which the recommender is not familiar. Your recommender needs to see your personal statement or proposal well before you send it in, in case there are changes needed. Remember, the recommender’s reputation is on the line in writing for you and mistakes or poorly organized proposals are a lousy reflection on the program, not just you. Fee The nonrefundable $100.00 application fee must be paid by credit card (VISA or MasterCard) prior to submission of your application . RL TGraduate programs require three (3) letters of recommendation. Submitting more than three letters does not improve your standing as an applicant. At least two of these letters should be requested from professors in your major subject. The most important aspect of letters of recommendation is that they be completed by individuals who are in a position to analyze your academic ability and potential for success in a rigorous graduate program. If you wish to submit a letter from an employer, please contact the graduate program advisor to determine if this will be acceptable. Please note if you are applying to the M.P.Ac., M.Fin., M.B.A., and Flex M.B.A., letters from an employer are acceptable. All letters of recommendation must be in English. If you have been enrolled in a previous graduate program, it is required that one letter be from your research or program advisor in that graduate program. Transcript Applicants are required to submit an official copy of transcripts and degree certificates (in original language accompanied by certified English translations) from each academic institution attended after secondary school. These records should be sent directly from the Registrars Office of the academic institutions you have attended to the academic department to which you are applying. If this service is not available, applicants may also request official copies and send them in the institutions' original sealed and certified institution envelopes.
