00Dear Sir or Madam: 02br
02br
00My name is ***. With this letter, I would like to apply as a graduate student for the AAA and the BBB Scholarship. 02br
02br
00In the early days in the high school, I was extremely interested in both mathematics and programming by not only are they my majors but also they have a great ability to solve complex problems with ease. Realizing their great impact to the modern society, I decided to pursue the career as a software engineer.02br
02br
00I have got a degree of Bachelor of Science in July 2005 from the 00 with specialization in Software Engineering. The emphasis of my studies was understanding various fundamental principles in programming as well as the intensive knowledge in different kinds of software development life cycle.02br
02br
00To strengthen my academic knowledge with practical experience, I also enrolled in00 00an two-year course specialized in enterprise and mobile application development from EEE, the largest Asian-based IT training provider. With strong information search and analysis skills and the ability to do research and apply new technologies, I graduated with distinction. Sharing and applying expertise to help the community are always my willingness. I am an active member of technical forums and newsgroups which help others solving their problems, I also joined in a team to develop an application, which is now sponsored by World Bank, to help blind people using the PCs easier. And I found that the experiences I got from those activities cannot be taught in the universities.02br
02br
02br
02br
00During the last 18 months I've been employed as a professional software developer in both national and oversea companies. Working on different kinds of projects gave me experiences in working independently or in team and under high pressure, working with foreigners, adapting to a constantly changing work environment and maintaining good working relationships with individuals of different cultural backgrounds. Good problem solving and analytical, strategic thinking skill, good command of understanding and using English are also my strengths.02br
02br
00However, from my work and experience in the software development industry, I came to recognize that my knowledge is limited in many areas. Thus, I would like to enroll in a master course in the AAA program in the field of software engineering to put my knowledge to a higher standard. Your top-level program will provide me a deep understanding in the field of software development, especially in empirical software engineering which I am particularly interested in. Furthermore, the AAAprogram, with its mobility in nature, provides me opportunities to meeting people from various countries and cultures, offers me different points of view and contributing to my flexibility and creativity, besides the cultural and language gains. In addition, have been taught by the world-class professors who made a name for themselves among the most influential software engineering professors in 00, I will surely get a deep and solid knowledge of software engineering which is necessary to meet the requirements of international software practice today and to pursue my career in future. XXX IT market is now known as the new horizon for IT investment, a lot of foreign companies have invested seriously in most of IT fields, especially in software development. Therefore, if I successfully graduate from AAA program and make practical use of what I have learned, I set myself in the ready state to contribute to the new achievements in the emerging and exciting IT market in my home country in the next few years. The knowledge, skills and experience that I benefit from AAA program not only contribute to my career in particular, but also to the development of the software engineering in my country in general.02br
02br
00To me, the AAA program and BBB Scholarship offer both opportunities and challenges. But with my strong academic background and relevant working experience, I am confident that I am qualified and prepared to meet all of its challenges. I would be most grateful if you could give my application your most favorable consideration.02br
00Yours faithfully,02br
