Letter of Recommendation – CFHI Scholarships

When choosing a recommender for your scholarship application, select someone who can effectively speak to your qualifications and demonstrate that you meet CFHI’s criteria. A strong letter of recommendation should highlight your openness and flexibility, maturity of character, genuine interest in public health or medicine in a global context, adaptable social skills (including humility), and willingness to take initiative in experiential education opportunities. Some examples include describing your ability to work collaboratively with diverse groups, adapt to unfamiliar environments, or demonstrate leadership in challenging situations.

Submission Options
Your letter of recommendation can either:
1. Be included directly in your scholarship application, OR
2. Be submitted directly by your recommender via email to [email protected].

If your recommender submits the letter directly to [email protected]:
– They should include your first and last name in the subject line of the email.
– You must upload a document in your scholarship application stating that the letter was shared via email, along with the name and email of your recommender.
