Scholarships aim to praise people with talent. The funder usually seeks for candidates with passion so as to help them with their academic path. Considering these objectives, I believe that I have adequate reasons and well deserve this scholarship
I am currently a final year Bachelor student at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. I am doing a double major in Accounting and Finance. And I almost excel at what I am doing. I possess a good background. After graduating from one of the most gifted high schools in my country, I went to VUW with a scholarship. I continued to work hard and it paid off consequently. I received an Excellence Award for my genuine performance in Accounting subjects and had myself included in the Dean's List for Excellent Academic Performance.
Both my parents came from poor families but they worked their heart out to give me good living conditions. Therefore I felt the need to take responsibilities and look after myself and my study at a fairly young age. Since I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I take extra care and work extra hard in everything. Instanstly I found it exhausting and depressing. Nonetheless this made me tough and mature. I do not let myself give up on things and get defeated. I did my best in most subjects even if this means compromising my pleasure time. Having said that, this does not mean I am a total nerd. I have my own personal life where I hang out with friends and enjoy extra curricular activities. My hobby is reading some romance while putting on the music. My mates even compliment me on my taste of music. On top of that, I work hard because I have passion and enthusiasm for it.
I will be graduating this year end. I am very grateful for my parents' constant support. However, I want to further my education. And keeping asking my parent for support is a good choice. I am grown up and definitely want to lift that burden off their shoulders.
The thought that I will be in one of the economic centres of the world just excites me. Since when I recognised my enthusiasm in the occupation, I am determined to make it my top priority to be able to stay in this business and perhaps work in the most dymanic environment. London School of Business and Finance really gives me everything I could wish for. If I get accepted, this will offer a top-notch education with the privileges of living in a modern city with long lasting history. Having HRH Prince Michael as a patron simply adds to the reputation and recognition of LSBF. I am thrilled to learn from the world-class education and gain access to the start of the art teaching facilities. Together with renowned partnerships and excellent standards, I believe I will be well prepared for the global marketplace. LSBF said "We go further so you go further". The statement is so inspirational that I actually see myself aiming for a better future career. I hope for a well recognised degree and opportunities to work with brilliant people. If I can make it to London, there is nothing more that I will ask for. This means I achieve my goals and make my parents proud. Studying Business at the heart of the economic world is one of life's time experiences. Also getting myself recognized by these honourable people is phenomenal. It will just open a whole new world and future in front of me.
The next reason as to why I deserve this scholarship is that I will be able to fulfill its objectives. Growing up in a poor family and witnessing the hardship of people around me, I feel the urge to make changes. There are unfortunate students failing to chase their dream because of financial difficulties. I believe the economy has to be built on a strong foundation, which is made of talented and passionate people. If possible, I want to give every student the opportunity to receive education from the best institutes around the world. Many of them may not be the best candidates but everybody deserve a chance. We might be able to spark their inner flame and help them live their dream. In other words, we are investing in our future. Talent is not always a gift to be born with, but can be taught and nurtured. The whole idea is to create a superb generation that is able to lead and bring our country forward.
With all the reasonings I am confident that if you are giving me the privilege, I will fulfill my roles and act as a ambassador for LSBF. I will help bring LSBF to Vietnamese students. I am committed to make contribution to my country's emerging economy which really needs more and more young people like us
