To Whom It May Concern

I ________________________, am writing this letter to offer my sincerest recommendation in

favor of ________________________ as a recipient of Admission and Scholarship at Xi’an
Jiaotong University. In the years I have known this student; it has been my privilege to watch him
grow in three areas that exemplify his worthiness of the honor you'd bestow. First of all, Dr.
___________________________ has grown academically across a wide range of disciplines
appropriate to his educational level. Although he has subjects in which he excels to a greater degree
than others, he has maintained a balance among the various areas of study, truly exemplifying the
academic liberal arts goals at this stage of the educational process. I believe the success in this area
has instilled the necessary foundation to ensure ongoing achievement as specialized education
gradually replaces general education.

A second aspect of my experience with _____________________________ that leads me to

believe him to be an ideal candidate for your scholarship is the breadth of extra-curricular activity
in which he has been active during his educational career. He has participated in various non-core
events and processes at an exemplary level. He is generally recognized amongst faculty advisors
to be an active participant, a committed advocate, and an engaging leader. Unlike a number of his
less fully committed colleagues, he earned every mention and every picture of him you might find
in our yearbook.

A third consideration I'd like to bring to your attention is a little less measurable. This student
shows a level of maturity above and beyond his peers. While he is not standoffish or somehow
aloof from his peers, he nonetheless rises above the pettier and immature concerns that typify youth
today. He instead often serves as a clear moral and intellectual standard to which his friends aspire.
I believe that your scholarship money will be well spent with this young man. I have every
confidence that he will complete his studies and complete them in a way that brings honor and
esteem to the traditions and goals of your organization. Should you have any questions, please do
not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Dr. _________________
