Character Reference for Graduate School

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing in reference to {Name's} application to the {name of school} graduate program.

I have had the privilege of knowing {Name} because of {his/her} involvement with{school, place of employment, etc.}, and I am excited about the prospect of {him/her} continuing {his/her} education with a graduate degree.

{Name} is exactly the type of student you want in your program. {He/she} is dedicated to {type of program study}, and is constantly seeking new methods of learning, and then finding interesting ways to apply that knowledge. {He/she} never presumes to have all the information, but is rather interested in hearing from all kinds of different sources in {his/her} quest to form an opinion or prove a hypothesis.

{Name} is also a conscientious team player who cares as much about the education and success of those around {him/her} as {he/she} does about {his/her} own.

{Name} would be a welcome addition to your program, and I hope you will strongly consider admitting {him/her}.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Sincerely,

{Sender}
