When asking for a recommendation...

Be sure you ask appropriate people. This means that the person that you ask has to know you well enough to be able to write you a good recommendation.
Make sure you give them enough time. Give them AT LEAST TWO WEEKS, but longer if possible.
Ask for your recommendation in person. Do not text or email your request. Do not have someone else ask for you!
Remember that this person is your key to getting that scholarship or award, and this is a favor to you! No one HAS to give you a recommendation, so therefore, do not expect it.
It is helpful to provide them with your resume and/or a list of accolades and school activities, so they can refer to them when writing your recommendation.
Write a thank you note to them once you have received your recommendation. It takes a lot of time and effort to write a good recommendation, so make sure that you show them your appreciation back.
