<p>I’m applying for a scholarship that needs a “rec from an unrelated adult who can attest to the student’s achievement”, I know that excludes relatives but what about a teacher? The reason I ask is b/c another scholarship I entered asked for 2 rec letters from teachers and one from someone not a relative of the student or a school official. If I can’t ask a teacher this would be difficult for me to enter b/c I don’t have a job or go to church so there are very few adults I know very well that aren’t part of my school or family. My dad has a friend who’s a neighbor, but I’ve NEVER had a conversation of more than 2 minutes with him and the last time I even spoke to him was about a year ago? Obviously he’s close to my dad and not with me. The only other person I can think of lives far away and by the time he’d make one and sent it to me the deadline would’ve passed.</p>
<p>We went thru several family friends and other people who know our kids when it came to scholarships recommendations. Some know them because of work, some as neighbors and teachers…even a parent of one of their friends who have known them for years.
I am asked frequently and am happy to oblige
Good luck</p>
<p>Do you tutor any? Maybe one of your client’s parents?</p>
