The Konrad–Adenauer–Stiftung e.V. (KAS) supports gifted and suitable young people who are
extraordinarily committed to the socio-political realm. The personal reference letter plays a
vital role in selecting candidates for our programme. We would therefore ask you to set high
standards for your evaluation.
We are particularly interested in the following questions:
1. For how long have you known the applicant?
2. How do you assess the applicant´s behaviour towards others (perhaps also
within a group)?
3. Do you know if and to which extent the applicant has seized responsibility
within the socio-political realm?
4. Which are the applicant´s outstanding traits that you have noticed? (e.g. creativity,
independence, determination, extraordinary talents etc.)
5. Based on your overall impression of the applicant: Do you recommend the
applicant for our programme?
Important
