The Jacob A. Bradley Memorial Scholarship requires 3 letters of recommendation from non-family members. Students are required to identify their recommenders and provide their contact information as part of their online application. Students are ultimately responsible for ensuring each recommender emails their letter to erin@bradleyfamily.foundation before the deadline. Recommenders are not notified by the Bradley Family Foundation. 

Information for Recommenders:

• Letters must be emailed from each recommender directly to erin@bradleyfamily.foundation before the deadline of January 8th, 2027 at 11:59 p.m. CST. Letters may be submitted before or after the student submits their application. Materials are only reviewed together after the deadline.
• Recommendations should highlight the applicant’s educational, extracurricular, personal, and professional skills. 
• In addition to the letter of recommendation, please indicate the following information in your email submission:
  • Your name
  • Your email & phone number
  • Applicant’s name you are recommending
  • Your relationship to applicant
• Please attach your letter of recommendation as a PDF document in your email
• Paper letters of recommendation are not accepted
