Requirement: Send a letter of recommendation from a voting member of WisABA.

Student members

Full-time undergraduate or graduate students, residents, or interns.

Requirement: Send verification of full-time student, intern, or resident status with your application. Any one of the following items is acceptable proof of your status as a full-time student. Please note, however, that the e-mail or document(s) must have some type of letterhead, signature, or mark from the college or university to ensure that it is credible. It must also clearly show that you are a full-time student for the current academic year.

• A brief letter or e-mail from a professor;
