For both types of community partners, applicants are required to provide a letter of support as part of their PFF Community Leadership Program application package.
- If you are a decision-maker in a sponsoring organization, your letter of support must include a description of the sponsoring organization, an endorsement of the project and its potential significance to the organization, and a commitment by the organization to support, advise and guide the student during the project should the applicant receive and accept the Fellowship.
