Dear Sir
I am writing this letter to be considered for the Study Abroad
Financial Aid Scholarship being a student of spring semester of my final year
at Faculty of Cultural Studies California. My first preference is University of
London for joining Faculty of Cultural Study.
One of the main reasons I wish to study at University of London is
that the studies of culture are increasingly of global nature in international
universities and it is adopting advanced similarities within different modern
civilizations. This scholarship will enable me to study courses related to
those I have completed at the Faculty of Cultural studies at California.
Another advantage for studying at London University is to get the
opportunity to discover the cultural heritage of London in real life and making
comparison rather than watching on television, reading in books or Internet.
Real study of the cultural differentiation would truly dilate my knowledge.
Living and studying abroad contains benefits, which I cannot achieve by short
visits. This opportunity will assist me in expanding my knowledge and
experience in variety of academic disciplines. This scholarship will also
enable me to interact with students from all over the world studying the
similar syllabus. I like to accept new challenges and opportunities for my
personal development by identifying new ways of promotion.
I am sending a copy of my resume, required transcripts, reference
and personal statements; I hope it will assist you for consideration of my
application about scholarship. If you need any additional information, please
call me on my mobile. I look forward to your feedback soon.
