Statement letter for pursuing a master's degree in petroleum refining.

Letter of application

I'm writing this letter to apply for Fulbright Forigen Student Program. I'm by the names Gattheep Jok a graduate of Bsc. In petroleum engineering from the international university of east Africa (IUEA), Kampala, Uganda.

My undergraduate program in petroleum engineering was richly rewarding experience, I acquired a wealth of knowledge both theoretically and practically. I did multiple internships program at the university and with Arab oil and Gas Academy in collaboration with Marietta college, PioPetro and SPE Egypt section.

It was always a dream to be a petroleum engineer with a master degree in petroleum refining because I have future plans in helping my country benefits from its crude oil. During my time at Fulbright Foreign Students Program I will conduct multiple researches in the downstream operation processes.

Conclusively, my fascination with the richness of the Petroleum Engineering field has encouraged me, I want to be part of a new age where petroleum engineers are at the forefront constantly pushing the boundaries of technology.

The letter is too weak as it does not represent a strong and imperative reason for your decision to seek a sponsorship for studying a masters course in the USA. The qualifications presented do not contain a proper reference to a continuing education in relation to an improving career path. These are but some of the considerations that the reviewer will be looking for in a statement letter. What is the purpose for your studies? How can you prove that your current job in South Sudan will gain definite benefits from you becoming a trained professional in the field of petroleum refining? I do not see any reason to grant your request based on this letter. It is shallow and fails to convince me that you actually gave any thought to the connection of the scholarship with your career plans in South Sudan. This letter is not going to help your application. You should write a new one based on the observations and questions that I have provided.
