The student above is applying for a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship that would enable her or him to engage in a year of independent study and travel abroad following graduation. In selecting Watson Fellows, the Foundation is most concerned with holistically identifying individuals who demonstrate strong ethical character, intelligence, imagination, vision, and leadership potential. Since these qualifications can only be measured over time by those who know the candidate well, your frank and confidential estimate of the candidate is essential to us. In addition to your comments on the candidate's character, intellect, integrity, and promise, we would appreciate your candid assessment of the proposed project; the candidate's capacity to undertake it with independence, cultural sensitivity, and resourcefulness; and the probability of the candidate deriving from it genuine benefit.
