Please be sure to upload your application materials as one single .pdf form and labeled properly with your x500 (e.g. x500_conference_2024 | x500_research_2024 | x500_career_2024)

Recommendation Letters

Please ask your advisor, Dean of Graduate Studies, professor, or University of Minnesota supervisor to provide a letter of recommendation in support of your grant application. The recommendation should certify that you are currently enrolled and in good standing, and it should also describe your merits and the merits of your proposed grant activity.

 

Because of the competitive nature of these grants, please select a recommender who will have the time required to write you a strong recommendation.

Your recommender will submit their recommendation online.

Please instruct your letter writer to save the letter as a .pdf and label it with the student's x500. If you are applying to both grants, inform your adviser to label each recommendation letter as the following: (e.g. x500_reccomendation_conference_2024 | x500_reccomendation_research_2024 | x500_reccomendation_career_2024).
 

 

You may submit your application prior to the letter of recommendation, but your application will not be complete until the recommendation is received. Recommendations are due by the application deadline.
