Confidentiality Waiver

I intend to ask members of the faculty of Vassar College and others to write letters of recommendation in connection with my applications for fellowships and/or scholarship competitions. I understand that Section 438(a) of the General Educations Provisions Act (Title IV of Pub. L. 93-380.513) gives me a right to inspect and review recommendations written about me which are maintained by Vassar College as a part of my “education record.”

In order to encourage the authors of letters to write with candor, do you elect to waive your rights to review and inspect letters of recommendation written about you?*

Yes, I waive my rights in order to encourage the authors of letters to write with candor

No, I do not waive my rights: I have elected to exercise my rights under the aforesaid statue. By doing so I understand that the authors of my letters, as well as the Committee reviewing my application, will be made aware that I have exercised this right.

Acknowledgement*

The Committee on Fellowships has been charged to make decisions as to who will receive funding from Vassar Fellowships endowments as well as who will be nominated to apply for nationally competitive scholarships in accordance with the requirements set forth by the Foundations involved on behalf of Vassar College. I understand that decisions regarding Vassar fellowship awards and institutional nominations are final and non-negotiable. If selected for nomination, I request that the Office for Fellowships at Vassar College prepare and submit an evaluation/endorsement to be sent in support of my application for the scholarship program to which I am applying, in accordance with the requirements of the Foundation involved. In order to prepare this evaluation/endorsement, I understand that all parts of my application and transcript will be reviewed by Vassar faculty and staff designated to participate in the evaluation process. Further, I understand that the recommendation writers I have registered here will be informed of my decision to waive or not waive my rights to review and inspect their letters as part of this process.
