Letter of Intent for Türkiye Bursları – Computer Engineering

(only the part I address my experience)

Dear Scholarship Committee,

I am writing to express my interest in the Türkiye Bursları scholarship for the Computer Engineering programme.

When I was young, I struggled to focus in class. I often relied on myself to fully understand my lessons. As time passed, this struggle taught me how to self-learn: how to search for what I need, organize my studies, and progress independently. It also developed my passion for learning beyond academics. In middle school, I started learning Python and built small projects. I genuinely enjoyed coding, admiring how commands and logic translated into functional software.

In secondary school, my brother introduced me to competitive programming, explaining its importance in the field of programming and in strengthening my problem-solving skills. I decided to take a course to build a strong foundation that would help me continue learning independently. Since then, I have actively studied new algorithms and practiced consistently to improve my skills. I also participated in ECPC Teens and ACPC Girls.

My school announced an opportunity in which a limited number of students would be selected to participate in a well-known and costly robotics competition (Alamein Robotics Championship). My teammate and I worked hard and built a virtual robot. Out of 1,400 teams, we were selected as one of 14 to represent our country. We received a robotics kit and attended a robotics camp, where I applied my knowledge practically and worked on building and developing a real, functioning robot.

I cannot review your essay based only on your relevant experience. That discussion would seem to take up more than half the required essay presentation, without actually answering the question of why you intend to study in Turkiye. You need to properly combine your experience with your intention. Otherwise, the essay does not work. I do not see any intention in this presentation, only a flexing of your academic history and interests, which may or may not align with your intentions for studying in Turkiye. Explain why you chose to study in the country. Why interests you about the educational system, the social climate, the accomplishments of Turkiye in computer engineering. This presentation does not meet letter of intent standards.

Letter of Intent for Türkiye Bursları – Computer Engineering

This my full Letter now. I have changed few things in my academic backround part

The Scholarship prompt: In this section, it is expected to explain following details: your academic and social experiences relating the field you want to take an education, your reasons for choosing Turkey for study and the importance of your future plans for your education and scholarship in Turkey.

Note: I fear that I don't have long-term goals(I'm only 17) but I don't want to lie.

Dear Scholarship Committee,

I am writing to express my interest in the Türkiye Bursları scholarship for the Computer Engineering programme. Türkiye's focus on technology and commitment to continuous development is the major motivation for me to study there and to learn in a society that truly values innovation.

Being raised abroad, I did not attend a formal school; instead, I studied at Egyptian education centres and took exams at the embassy. Education at these centres was limited. I often relied on myself to fully understand my lessons. When I returned home, this struggle had already taught me how to self-learn: how to search for what I need, organize my studies, and progress independently. It also developed my passion for learning beyond academics. In middle school, I started learning Python and built small projects. I genuinely enjoyed coding, admiring how commands and logic translated into functional software.

In my freshman year, my brother introduced me to competitive programming, explaining its importance in the field of programming and in strengthening my problem-solving skills. I decided to take a course to build a strong foundation that would help me continue learning independently. Since then, I have actively studied new algorithms and practiced consistently to improve my skills. I also participated in ECPC Teens and ACPC Girls.

A year later, my school announced an opportunity in which a limited number of students would be selected to participate in a well-known and costly robotics competition (Alamein Robotics Championship). My teammate and I worked hard and built a virtual metal detector robot. Out of 1,400 teams, we were selected as one of 14 to represent our country. We received a robotics kit and attended a robotics camp, where I applied my programming and technical skills to build a real, functioning robot. Experiencing how software and hardware complement each other motivated me to pursue Computer Engineering.

Turkey provides a well-rounded quality of education that combines strong theoretical knowledge with excellent practical training. This approach is extremely important for my field of study. By studying in Turkey, I will gain the solid theoretical foundation and excel in the practical skills, which will prepare me to return to Egypt and contribute to my country's development by applying the knowledge and skills I have gained, especially as Egypt is currently in a developing stage.

Türkiye promotes technical competitions to encourage practical learning and innovation. This aligns with my passion for applying my skills competitively and pushing my limits. I aspire to compete in innovative competitions like TEKNOFEST and interact with experts and leading companies in the field.

do you have any feedbacks please
