[/nq] Since you're asking for corrections, I'll also note one of spelling: grammar. [/nq] Gramatically, it can stand, but without the broader context, it's not clear to me what you're saying. (1) You've already been awarded the fellowship, and you decide to apply the funds toward a stated worthy goal, or (2) You're applying for a fellowship, and the decision of the course of study will propel or dovetail with the application itself (or the fellowship which may result).

[nq:1]If this is in conjuction with an application, I suggest that to avoid having your application just tossed you write something like "I am applying for a Sir Edward Fellowship so I can continue my study of finance."[/nq]
I'm not sure why, but that bare "so" strikes me as overly informal for this type of letter. I'd want a "so that" if not a full "in order to continute". A bare "to continue
