I proudly wish to recommend (Mr. Xxx Trevor) for being considered for the esteemed
Thomas Hardy Scholarship Award under the Oxford university. I have been in
association with Xxx since the last four years as he has been a student of our English
department.

Mr. Xxx has been a brilliant student throughout his four years of graduation. His
diligence and hard work has always been appreciated by various faculties. Being
among the top 1% student of our department, he has won many prizes in the field of
poetry, prose and fiction writing. His studies have never been a deterrent for him to
participate in extracurricular activities and he has shown his hidden talents in fields
like dancing and sketching.

Adversities in the form of financial downturns have always forced Xxx to quit his
career however, showing his determination and for supporting his studies, he has
worked in the university library as a part-time assistant librarian. He has also been
taking English classes in some schools.

Xxx represented our university in international conference on 'Effectiveness of

Literature' in the US and got a certificate of active participation. His work in various
institutional competitions is also commendable. For the future, Xxx wishes to enter in
the field of professional fiction and non-fiction writing.

Xxx has been a studious student and I feel he will do complete justice to the money he
gets from the scholarship. I sincerely recommend Mr. Xxx Trevor for the Thomas
Hardy Scholarship Award.

Sincerely,
Signature
Xxx Yyyy
