My guidance counselor just told me the other day that I have been nominated for the Jefferson Scholarship for UVA. She hasn’t done the official nomination yet so I won’t receive anything official until she does. I’m sure many of you have been through this before so could you please let me know what is actually on the application for the scholarship. Are there essays? If so, how many and what are the about? Also, are rec letters needed and if so, from whom? Anything else I should know? Thanks.
