I have agreed to write a letter of recommendation for one of my students. She is applying for scholarships. She says that she needs me to email it to her so she can attach it to the form. Usually I would just print a letter and put it in a sealed envelope and give it to the student. I have also been sent a link to fill out a form for a reference. This is new to me. I'm wondering how others would handle this situation. I have no reason not to trust the student, but this method seems odd to me.

I send my letter as a PDF or a scan.

Can you save it as a PDF and she attaches that file? That was the method used when I wrote one for a former babysitter of ours about 2 years ago. She was applying for nursing school.

I would ask her what scholarship this was for and check to see their requirements. You should know the name of the scholarship to be able to tailor the letter so that it best suits the scholarship goals and objectives.

A PDF could work. I think I would be comfortable with that.

The link for the form seems to be fairly standard lately. If you don't feel comfortable emailing you letter, give her a hard copy. She can scan it and upload it that way.

I wouldn't feel comfortable with an email because anyone can change your words. Even if they have a pdf, you can EASILY change what you write. I'd do it as a letter and either give it to her or scan it. Yes, even that can be changed relatively easily, but a sharp eye can tell a little better.
