GUIDELINES FOR REFERENCE LETTERS
(For applicants from USA high schools and colleges)

The Lock Haven University Honors Program provides enhanced educational opportunities for a select group of intellectually ambitious and talented students. Admission to the program is based on the candidate’s application essay, academic performance, test scores, interview, leadership experience and recommendations.  Applications will not be reviewed until letters of reference are received. 

Please submit your letters of reference as soon as possible. The student’s application cannot be considered until your recommendation is received. If you need any additional information, please contact us at (570) 484-2053 or honors@lhup.edu.

Letters of reference should be on official school stationery and should be sent directly to the Lock Haven University Global Honors Program.  Please indicate for how long and in what capacity you have known the student.  Commenting on strengths, weaknesses and potential, please address oral and written expression, initiative, motivation, leadership, and commitment to excellence.
