To Whom It May Concern:

I am greatly pleased that I have been accepted into your graduate program for
Biology this coming academic year. I have learned about your scholarship program
for students taking their Master’s degree in the field and I am submitting my
application for your consideration.

I believe that I am qualified for your scholarship program having graduated with
honors in my baccalaureate degree. I have already written several scientific papers
which have been published in the university journal. I deem myself capable of
maintaining the good grades you require.

Unfortunately, my family is facing a financial problem and this could hinder my study.
Being granted a scholarship would be of great help to me. I have enclosed my
application form as well as my academic record and certification of my financial
status.

Thank you. I hope for your positive response.

Sincerely,
Gordon Harper
