Subject: Reference letter for {scholarship_name} — would you be willing?
Hi [Teacher name], I hope your semester is going well. I'm applying for the [scholarship_name] (worth [amount], deadline [deadline]) and I'd be honoured if you'd be willing to write me a reference letter. I'm asking you specifically because [one specific moment / reason — e.g. "the chemistry research project I led last spring" or "because you saw me grow from a 51% midterm to an 87% final"]. The committee is looking for [what the scholarship values — leadership / academic potential / community impact]. If you're able to help, I'll send over: my draft personal statement, my brag sheet (one page), the prompt the committee shared, and the submission link. The deadline is [date] — I'd love to give you four weeks if possible. No pressure at all if it's not a good time — I completely understand. Thank you for considering it. Warmly, [Your name]

Student Prompt Library
Hand-written prompts you can copy into ChatGPT, Claude, or any other AI assistant — pre-loaded with the Canadian context (OSAP, Loran, Schulich, etc.) so the AI's first answer is actually useful.

End with a clear ask and the deadline.
