No, agencies typically cannot obtain Letters of Recommendation (LORs) from universities on your behalf.

LORs must be written by professors or supervisors who know you personally and can comment on your abilities and character. Agencies may guide you on how to request an LOR or provide templates, but the actual letter should come directly from your recommender.

If you need help identifying suitable recommenders or understanding the process, your LeapScholar counsellor can support you.
