Scholarship / Motivation letter for applying Scholarship in Netherlands [3]
Hi everyone, i really need your help to review and proofread my motivation letter below. It is used for applying scholarship by NufficNeso with my preference in agriculture programme. Hope to get lotsa feedback from you soon! Thanks!
Indonesia's largest tropical peatland (14.9 million hectares) is a hidden natural resource. Although known as marginal land, it plays a vital role in supporting SDG 13 and 15 - climate regulation and ecosystem services provision. Recently, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry has increased the efforts to conserve peat ecosystem by established Peat Restoration Agency (BRG) and Government Regulation (PP) No. 57/2016 due to the rising number of hazardous peat fires, whereby the fault is placed mostly on oil palm and forest plantations. Unfortunately, the regulation of water table criterion was controversial and the adequate research is needed.
I want to help and solve peatland's major issues by analyzing the relation of water management practices with yield gap and peatland biophysical conditions from smallholders to estate palm oil plantations - as an effort for minimizing peat degradation. For that reason, I intend to continue my study in the International Land and Water Management programme offered by Wageningen University and Research (WUR) and grasp the advance knowledge. WUR is acknowledged as the best agriculture and forestry university in the world with myriad research on tropical peatland development, such as RESTORPEAT and Indonesian Peat Prize. WUR's multidisciplinary courses mainly focus on optimizing degraded land and water management vis-à-vis worldwide food security and possess congruent value with StuNed priority area (Agriculture development) which became my fundamental reason to apply for this scholarship.
With my master degree, I aspire to become a researcher specialized on tropical peatland management as well as advisors at governmental authorities under Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture. I aim to devote myself in Indonesian Research Institute and conduct a comprehensive research to improve a sufficient guideline for minimizing the environmental issues which in line with Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO), evaluating contentious government policies, reinforcing effective water management and actively contribute in Pantau Gambut platform. Hopefully, with StuNed oppurtunity, the cooperation of Indonesia-Netherlands governments and research groups will enhanced and eventually my determination altered into an impactful contribution for Indonesia.
As a Bachelor from soil science major, Universitas Brawijaya, my experiences range from being an assistant lecturer for Agroforestry and Agroecosystem Management to conducted a research for restoration's baseline at Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. Currently, I am enrolled in an internship programme and engaged in diverse research at Indon*sian Oil Pa*m Rese*** Inst*** (IOP*I). Besides my academics, I have actively participated in social activities and seminars related to agriculture development, environment, and youth leadership both in national and international scale with IAAS, AIESEC,and Brawijaya Soil Science Student Association.
To conclude, I believe I am a suitable and qualified candidate for the Stu*** scholarship. Not only young professionals are needed in Indonesia's agricultural field, but I also believe that I have the appropriate skill-set, experience and strong motivation to potentially impact, enhance sustainable agriculture and improving local livelihood, particularly in Indonesia's degraded land.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.
