Each year, the Discovery Middle School PTO awards two scholarships to graduating seniors who are former DMS graduates. Applicants are evaluated on a variety of factors including academics, extracurricular activities, and an outside reference. Identifying information will be removed prior to judging so applications may be considered anonymously. Information you provide in this form will be considered confidential and will be used solely for the purpose of selecting scholarship recipients.
The last item in this form is your Letter of Recommendation where you will further share why you think he/she is a good candidate. Please support your case with examples and/or evidence based on your interactions with the student.
IMPORTANT: Since identifying information must be removed for the judging process, please avoid using the applicant's name in your letter and simply replace with the appropriate pronouns or "applicant" as needed.
NOTE: You may want to type the letter in another document and then copy/paste it into this form when you have it completed.
The letter of recommendation is required in order for the student's application to be considered in the selection process. The students must have all criteria
turned in no later than FEBRUARY 28th.
If you are unable to complete your reference by the due date, please inform the requesting applicant immediately.If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our DMS PTO scholarship chairperson,
Jamie Nugent, at jamieanugent@gmail.com. Thank you for supporting our candidates and for helping to make the selection process thorough and fair!
