WHAT IS A “DIRECTED” LETTER OF REFERENCE AND WHY DO I NEED TO GET THEM?
A “directed” letter of reference asks your references specific questions. The questions address factors necessary in determining your eligibility for an HF Fund grant. “Directed” letters are not the more common “To Whom It May Concern” letters. The individuals you select to write them should believe in you. Their letters help our committee gain insight into your character, motivation and potential. So, please choose references carefully. They are a very important part of your application.
