RE: Application for [NAME of SCHOLARSHIP] cover letter
Dear Name of Head of Scholarship Committee:
I am submitting this application for the [NAME of SCHOLARSHIP] to further my
education in environmental studies. I have studied for two years in Name of University
and require financial assistance to complete my degree in Environmental Science. I
have worked part-time in a recycling center for the past two years and wish to work in
the field of environmental sustainability. However, I need a degree to advance in this
field.
I spent the last two years of high school volunteering in a waste management facility in
the city and have gained a lot of experience in the field. I won an award for creative
management for recycling plastic water bottles. My goal is to work to have an impact on
many environmental issues such as solar power, wind power as well as waste
management. One of the most profound experiences of my life was a trip I took to see
the island of waste in the northern Pacific Ocean.
If I am fortunate enough to receive this scholarship, I will finish my degree to qualify for
a job in a company that promotes sustainability in their business ethic. My father died
five years ago and I was able to pay for my first two years at university with the
insurance money, but my mother is no longer able to support my university tuition.
Thank you for considering my application. I have enclosed a recommendation letter
from my university councilor along with the application form and my transcripts. I hope
to hear from you soon. I can be reached at [555-123-4567] or at [Name@[Link]].

RE: Application for [NAME of SCHOLARSHIP] cover letter
Dear Name of Head of Scholarship Committee:
I was excited to read about the [$10,000] scholarship that [Name of Institution] was
giving to one lucky college student. My goal is to go to [Name of College] in [Name of
City] to pursue a nursing degree. It has always been my passion to be a nurse ever
since I was a little girl. My mother was a nurse before her tragic passing, and she loved
her patients and took care of them so well. By completing my nursing degree, I feel that
I will not only further my career, but I will also pay tribute to my mother who gave her life
for her calling. Being a nurse means everything to me.
I graduated from [Name of High School] in [YEAR] with honors. I took a year off to travel
and see the world, but now I am ready to get back into school. I was an active student
at my high school. I served on the debate team and also ran for class president. I was
class valedictorian and like to get involved in any extracurricular activities that the
school offered. I believe in not just attending school but also getting involved in it.
[Name of Head of Scholarship Committee], I know that you will receive numerous
applications for this scholarship. I am hoping that you will consider my application and
allow me to fulfill my dream of being a nurse. The medical field is challenging and one
that has difficult classes; however, I feel that I will have no problem arising to this
challenge. To be a nurse means everything to me, but with the cost of room and board,
books and all the other charges, it is going to be tight. I appreciate your consideration.
Sincerely,
