Dear XXX,
APPLICATION FOR SCHOLARSHIP
I wish to express my interest in the XXX International Scholarship Program. I believe that my very good academic record, service work and extracurricular activities make me an ideal candidate to be considered for a scholarship. I have a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) in Chemical Engineering with Second Class upper honours and graduating Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.209/5.0 obtained in 2014 from the University of Benin, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, and I am currently undergoing the mandatory one year national service to my country and it will end in July, 2015.
My academic achievement is demonstrated by the numerous awards and scholarships I received whilst in secondary school as well as the university. The achievements in secondary school include being awarded prizes for the overall best student, the best in Chemistry and the best in Electronics. In addition to graduating among the top 10 students in my department at the end of the academic year, I received various scholarship awards such as the Federal Government of Nigeria merit award, the Total E/P Nigeria Limited merit award and the Chevron/Agbami scholarship award.
My personal achievements and soft skills are evidenced in my involvement in a variety of extracurricular activities as well as holding positions of responsibilities which enhanced my communication, leadership and interpersonal skills. I was elected as the President of the Junior Engineers Technicians and Scientists (JETS) club of my secondary school, a departmental representative at the Students' Union of my university, and I am presently a member of the Road Safety Community Development Service group, where we sensitize road users on the importance of safety on our highways. I have also gained some valuable work experience ranging from being a class teacher to being a laboratory scientist. Additionally, I have worked as an Intern with the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) of the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company Limited Warri, Delta State, Nigeria.
I am a self-motivated individual with a strong desire to excel in whatever I am involved in. Behind my achievements is also a strong desire to learn. I hope to further my education by studying for an M.Sc in XXX and XXX at the XXX School (xxx) XXX, before proceeding to doctoral level where I intend to carry out research in the general areas of petrochemicals and structure-property relationship for polymer materials.
Thank you in advance for considering my application.
Yours faithfully,
