A Word About Your References - Choose your references with care!
- Employers, religious leaders, community leaders, teachers and instructors can serve as excellent references. Ideally your references should have known you for a minimum of six months. Avoid using members of your family, best friends or roommates.
- Please advise your references of the award for which you are applying, and inform them of the specific criteria of the award so that if required, they may indicate why you are a suitable candidate. They should always try to address your current attributes and skills.
