Scholarship / Scholarship for Master / Fashion Designers often consider themselves artists [7]

Hi Guys,
Thanks in advance for looking into my scholarship Essay.
Guys i need to provide 500 words scholarship essay to obtain a scholarship. Pls review my essay and let me know changes in it.

Fashion Designers often consider themselves artists, and as an artist, grants and scholarships can give you the opportunity to focus on your designs instead of worrying about the cost of books, tuition and supplies.

Being the first child of my family, I have learned value of money in my early ages itself. Both my parent never made it to high school, so they were not involved in my academic life and they really struggled hard to pay my fees till my High school. After finishing my high school at age of 17 i decided to start working instead of doing my graduation so that I help my family financially and help my younger brother to study in high school and later do his graduation.

Though i stopped continuing my studies after my high school, I figured out the purpose education in one's life and what I should be doing to achieve my goals. After working as Sr. Merchandiser for the past 14 yrs, I really posses a good technically knowledge about Fashion Merchandising but I strongly feel that Education is the best tool to sharpen once career and without proper education one will be like a "stagnant water in a pond instead of running water in a stream which would reach his destination".

By studying MA Fashion Business Management Course in your esteemed university, I feel that I could get the academic knowledge related to fashion industry which could fine tune my technical knowledge that I possess and help me to reach to a good position in my career.

After finishing this course, I see myself working as Fashion Buyer for any leading garment companies like Tesco, Walmart etc or maybe even own and run my own boutique shop in years to come. I think I can do all these things which I thought with my industry experience and with the knowledge that I will be obtaining by attending this course.

I always want to be good role model to my sibling and to my colleagues with whom I worked in the last 14 yrs. During my career in Link up Textiles ltd I have seen many young guys who joined my company just to financially support their family. Whenever I see guys like them I used to motivate them and ask them to do their graduation in part time and say them that I am one among you people who sacrificed their life and education for the welfare of their family. And if I happen to get this scholarship I would proudly go and tell those individuals that "If I can achieve this then why can't you also achieve this" and this will create interest about education in their minds and help them to achieve their goals in their life.

I m also planning to take Education loan to pay my fees and accommodation purpose, so by obtaining this scholarship it will reduce my financial burden and I can also use those funds for my sibling graduation.

Graduate / Personal Statement for MA International Fashion Business: Buying and Merchandise [4]

Hi,

I am writing a SOP for the MA International Fashion Business: Buying and Merchandise Management at MMU. This is my dream College

Can any one help me on it and provide your value feedback pls - very urgent

Fashion, to me is a form of self-expression. The clothes you choose, the accessories you wear with it describes you as a person. It gives you an identity of your own. Fashion describes you as a person. Fashion brought renaissance to the mankind. Fashion has enhanced a different view to this world and people were keen now to look through Fashion's eye in each and every step in their life. Fashion has come a long way through man from his clothing over tree leaves to leather jackets.

I started my Career as a Fashion Merchandiser in Link Up Textiles and had been working over there for the past 13 years. Throughout my career I have learned about merchandising and different methodologies to carry out my work in an effective manner. For Merchandising, the basic knowledge is updating the status often and keeping us alive all the way. Merchandise planning helps the buying team to get the products on-time. The major part in merchandise is to give right production in right time. Timely intake of products/ promoting the products to reach the correct customer must be a major work for a perfect merchandiser.

MMU has the best Fashion Buying and Merchandise Management out there. I know this would be a great place for me to get my degree doing something I loved just doing as a child. MMU is a place where I can get the best industry leading experience, educational experience, growth and self development. I would be very grateful to learn from such outstanding leaders who can give me insight as how to survive and thrive in this desired field.

I want to go on and do great things which I think and I believe that with MMU behind me I can do them all. I want to work as a buyer for TESCO and maybe even own and run my own boutique shop. I think I can do all these things with my industry experience and with the knowledge that I will be obtaining by attending "MA International Fashion Business: Buying and Merchandise Management" course in MMU.

I believe that travelling and studying overseas will bring a significant transformation in my outlook and perspective as a whole. I will like to gain firsthand knowledge and experience in different methodologies of working and expose myself to the rich cultural and ethnic diversity, thereby increasing my international exposure and work experience, along with honing my technical knowledge and skills.

I will consider it as an honor if I could study at Manchester Metropolitan University in UK. I am confident that I will live up to the high standard set by your prestigious university. I hope to hear from you soon.
