Dear Sir/Madam
It is my great pleasure to write this letter in support of Wasyihun Sema’s application for the
Lincoln Scholarship. I got to know Wasyihun one year ago as his Master’s Degree Student at
University of Gondar. Wasyihun was also a dedicated Student of the IT at University of Gondar,
which gained lots of for reputation in the entire zone. His focus and dedication to learning
always impressed me. Wasyihun ability to tackle some of the most challenging problems was
impressive. Besides, he never hesitated to seek help whenever he missed a concept.

Additionally, I was impressed by the way he collaboratively worked with his classmates.
Wasyihun believed in teamwork. And this is something I witnessed during group discussions.
Other than that, he is respectful, honest, caring, and gets along with people well. At some point,
he was willing to help fellow students who needed assistance.

Currently, Wasyihun has a vision of joining Oxford University to further his studies in
Information Technology/Cyber Security/Data Science/Health Informatics. As his former teacher,
I have strong confidence he will succeed with flying colors. Wasyihun comes from a humble
family who has consistently offered him support. However, as he plans to encounter his next
learning phase, things can get a bit south. The financial amount associated with his enrollment at
the university could put lots of strain on his family. My worry is that this can shutter down his
ambitions and dreams.

Over the two years of his Master’s degree, Wasyihun has worked as a shop attendant to support
his parents’ meager income. But this didn’t prevent him from scoring highly in his academics.
Overall, I can say that John is a first-grade student.

His hard work and effort will get him whenever he wants to achieve. Therefore, I can confidently
say that he is well-deserving of this scholarship more than ever. Please feel free to contact me
at maria@email.com if you have any other questions or concerns.

Sincerely
Maria Jones
