WHAT YOU NEED TO SUBMIT
To apply to the next session of TRIP Initiative, complete the online application and have three letters of recommendation (submitted directly via email by the letter writers, NOT by the student) and school transcript sent to Dr. Amanda Purdy at amanda.purdy@fccc.edu before 11:59 pm on Monday April 16, 2018. Ask your high school counselor to send the school transcript.
One letter of recommendation should come from your science teacher (e.g. biology, chemistry, physics, etc.), while others can come from, but are not limited to, the following individuals: High school administrator (Assistant Principal, Principal, etc.), high school teacher (math, science, English, art, etc.), coach, minister or clergyman from your place of worship, and supervisor from a current/previous job, club or volunteer position.
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. If applicable, letters should be written on official school letterhead. Official letters of recommendation should be e-mailed directly from the letter writer to Dr. Amanda Purdy at amanda.purdy@fccc.edu with the subject line: “TRIP Initiative Recommendation- APPLICANT’S NAME”.
Applicants: When requesting a letter of recommendation, please COPY and PASTE the above information into your request and give your letter writers a MINIMUM of three weeks to complete your letter.
Applications will be reviewed by a panel of program staff and alumni in May. Following review, qualifying applicants will interview with program staff in June 2018.
