Supplemental Questions
  1. Please provide a name and valid SLU email address of a faculty or staff member that can provide a letter of recommendation. Letter of recommendation requests are sent automatically via email from the Scholarship Suite after you enter the recommender's email address and submit your applications.

This way you can make sure they are willing to write a positive and descriptive letter AND you can prepare them for the automatic email request from the Scholarship Suite.
