Hi! I’m currently trying to gather all of my documents for a local scholarship I’m applying for. It’s due Friday, and it requires 3 letters of recommendation, so I’ve planned to just have my 2 teachers and academic advisors reword their colleges letters for me, and I’ll use that.
That said- all of the materials need to be uploaded in ONE email, and I don’t know a whole lot about FERPA rights. When applying to college, I made sure to waive my rights so I wouldn’t be able to see my letters, but I don’t really have a choice for this scholarship because I have to be the one that submits it.
Are there any ramifications or consequences I’ll face because of this? The letters of recommendation will be altered to be fit for a scholarship rather than college, so maybe they could be considered different?
