WHAT YOU NEED TO SUBMIT
To apply to the next session of TRIP Initiative, complete the online application by following this link: https://forms.gle/5QDyxKfJ6XNXhG266. (It is recommended to download and complete the essay portion of the application in a word processing program and then copy/paste your answers into the online application.

Applicants are also asked to upload a current transcript (unofficial transcripts are acceptable) and their course schedule to the application.
In addition to completing the online application, applicants must have two letters of recommendation (LOR) submitted on their behalf. These documents can be submitted directly by the letter writers by following this link: https://forms.gle/eQZ1sXx9KzyTtHGz8.

If your writers have trouble submitting documents through the online form, documents may also be sent to Dr. Alyssa Leystra at tripinitiative@gmail.com before 11:59 pm on Monday, October 25th, 2021. If letter writers need to email supplemental documents, please ask them to use the subject line: “TRIP@WTHS’22 Recommendation - APPLICANT’S NAME”.

Letters should: 1) state the length and capacity that the recommender has known the applicant, and 2) contain an assessment of the applicant’s strengths and weakness with specific examples that support participation in the TRIP program. Please rename the file as "Last name, first name of applicant_Your first and last name".
