To whom it may concern,
I am writing to you in support of Mr. Linh Phan for the current UAB scholarship
program. Though many students ask me to make this request on their behalf, I only recommend
students whom I feel are well-suited for the program of their choice. Mr. Linh Phan is one of
those students and therefore, I highly recommend that he be given the opportunity to receive this
scholarship.
As a professor of School of Engineering at University of Alabama at Birmingham, I work
with many students who have substantial knowledge. Mr. Phan has consistently shown such a
strong desire to learn that I simply could not turn down his request for recommendation.
I first met Mr. Phan in my EE 312 course during the fall 2014 semester. Compared to the
class average, Mr. Phan earned an A grade in this class, in which he performed exceptionally
well.
Linh is an outstanding individual with a strong character. He has the ability to produce
impressive results in a wide variety of areas. In class, he has proven to be a take-charge person
who is able to successfully develop plans and implement them.
Though Linh has consistently exceeded in all areas of his coursework, the best example
of his intelligence shone through his 4.0 GPA.

I believe Linh Phan is destined to be an excellent candidate for current UAB scholarship
program. I highly recommend that you consider his application, as he will be a great asset to our
school. Im sure you will find him to be a student whose talents will only shine further.
If you would like further information, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,

Karthikeyan Lingasubramanian, Ph.D.
