Scholarship / Sugarcane factory: Why proposed this course and institution [5]

scholarship application essay

Hi, I have been trying to write my essay for scholarship application. Any suggestion and grammar check are welcome. Thank you very much for taking your time. Here below my essay：

In my country, I live in a small district nearby sugarcane factory. I used to went through the factory when I wanted to go to the city. It has been known for several years that the factory discharged wastewater into the river and it caused the odor. This inevitably damaged the aquatic ecosystem. Every time I went through the factory, I always thought about what factory has done, the odor, the fish, and societies that live nearby factory. My concern about this environmental issue have led me to study Environmental Science in my master degree. At this moment, I choose Environmental Engineering as my discipline. I want to find the suitable method to deal with wastewater system and to make wastewater to be valuable things. The institution I choose was RMIT University School of Engineering. I choose RMIT University because it has widely known as university that emphasized on industry-focused engineering research project that aims to solve critical global problems affecting communities and the environment. Furthermore, RMIT University also offers many research areas such as wastewater treatment and air pollution, that will deliver fundamental research leading to innovative new products, processes and knowledge that I needed to maximise my potential.
