Dear [Dr. / Professor] [First Last Name],

As one of the most influential educators I've had during my academic journey here at UT, I wanted to reach out to ask for your support in a matter that means the world to me. I'm re-applying to graduate school to pursue a Masters of Social Work at UT Social Work, and one of the requirements is a letter of recommendation from someone who knows my work, character, and aspirations well. It would be an honor if you would consider writing this letter on my behalf.

Your Social Work Applied Practice and Social Work Field Practice I & II class profoundly shaped my academic growth and solidified my passion for the pursuit of social justice through research. I believe your perspective on my abilities, dedication, and potential for success in graduate school would add significant weight to my application.

Here I have created an outline of the required steps needed for my application alongside resources in hopes to make the process so much smoother for you given the timeline. The deadline for submission is December 1st.

Pursuing graduate school has been one of my biggest dreams, and your recommendation would mean so much to me as I take this next step. I truly value your insight and support, and I'm incredibly grateful for all that I've learned from you.

Thank you for always opening doors for me when others pretended that they didn't exist, you created them for me.

Sincerely,

Raul Montoya
