It is recommended that you type these essays in another text-editing program, then copy and paste them into the appropriate form in your browser when submitting. This will help prevent any time-out issues when using the above forms.

 

Step Three: Recommendation Letters

 

You will also submit two letters of recommendation from:

1) a teacher; and
2) a school counselor, club advisor, or community leader.

 

The letters should support your application to the scholarship program and provide the committee with insights regarding your academic achievement, leadership, or community service. Please note: recommendation letters from relatives will not be accepted.

 

Please submit the letters to 052 Lindley Hall, 1 Ohio University, Athens OH 45701-2979; or, have your letter writers submit them to diversity@ohio.edu.

Application materials are due no later than February 10, 2012. Early submissions are strongly encouraged: no late submissions will be accepted.

 

Be sure to apply to Ohio University before February 10, as you must be accepted to the University before you can be selected for the Templeton Scholars Award.

 

You will be contacted after the processing of your application to schedule your preferred interview date.
