Can I get Letters of Recommendation (LORs) from my professors and do I need LORs from outside sources for scholarships or offer letters in USA for a Master's?
Yes, you can use Letters of Recommendation (LORs) from your professors for your master's applications in the USA. Academic LORs are often preferred, especially if you have less than two years of work experience.
For scholarships, LOR requirements vary. Some scholarships may ask for academic references, while others might prefer recommendations from professional or community sources. Always check each scholarship's current requirements.
