Some scholarships require a letter of recommendation. If you qualify for these scholarships, you will be asked to complete a follow-up step after submitting the general application to request a letter of recommendation from a KCKCC Instructor. Students should notify the instructor before requesting a letter.  When prompted, simply enter in the instructor's name and email address and an email will be sent to the instructor. They will be able to log in and upload the letter of recommendation. Students will not be able to view the letter, however students can see if the instructor has submitted the letter or not.
