How to write a scholarship letter

We are often asked about how to write a letter to appeal for scholarship funding. A scholarship appeal letter is your opportunity to connect with an organization to convince them of your suitability to receive scholarship funding. This one page can not come across as too direct or harsh. It needs to convey a sense of belief in your ability. It must also illustrate a belief that the scholarship funds would have a positive impact in your studies. Ideally, the letter would illustrate how the scholarship would ultimately help you achieve academic success and thus career dreams. |

If time is short and you do not have time to research different organizations in depth, you can consider copying and pasting a standardized email about yourself to different organizations. If you follow this route, it is important that your email is general enough so that it does not indicate carelessness or exclude you from being considered by an organization. For example, while it may be wise to share how you always wanted to captain your own cruise ship to someone in the cruising industry, it would not help your appeal sending such information to the aviation industry. |
