motivation letter for receiving scholarship

Dear Admissions Committee Members:
First, I would like to express my appreciation for this opportunity to apply for … scholarship. I am a master student at …in the field of English Studies science winter semester 2015. During the last year, I had to support myself completely, at this time in order to be able to continue my studies I want apply for this scholarship. After I finished my Bachelor’s degree in English Literature in …, I decided to continue my studying at master level in the field of English studies especially (focus on) linguistics. When I talked my professors, I considered that I need to improve my knowledge in my major. Besides, one of the prospect of mine (job opportunity for a person who study English is to work as a translator, so I aimed to acquire German as the second foreign language as it is one of the most useful language in my country and I need to improve my German, my knowledge of writing papers and doing presentation. Finally, it was also clear that I need international experience. The first country that I looked was Germany because of many reasons; the teaching assistantship program would provide me with the practical teaching experience I am eager to acquire. Further, earning a master degree in English studies would support my other two career goals by adding to my skills, both critical and creative in working with language. This country is the third most popular destination among international students in the world. Significantly, German university degrees specially… are highly respected by employers worldwide. I applied for admission at winter semester 2014 in master level at ... I was happy that I was accepted; but when I arrived to … I could not enroll, a mistake happened and the international office said that they are so sorry. They told me according to the rule of … I had to take part in an entrance exam of the English faculty that held only one time per a year (at the end of July)! On the other hand as the process of getting visa for Iranian students is too difficult I thought if I come came back to my country, I would lose my chance to get student visa for the next year, then I did not leave Germany. Furthermore, as I could not start my studying I lose my chance to stay in the university's accommodation and force to spend a large amount of my stock for the accommodation.
As it can be seen in my C.V, I have extensive work experience background in the field of my study; Although during the time that I was studying and was involved with some part time job to support myself also store some money for my coming to Germany. I finished my bachelor degree in 2008 in the field of English literature. I then continued with working in the field of English Teaching, translator in different places.

I have always been a dedicated person with a clear goal. For a long time I was dedicated to work and help other students who decide to be admitted at the university, especially those who need help to improve English skills. The origins of my experience as a teacher goes back to the time when I decided to attend at a charity program for underprivileged students. Throughout my life, I have often involved in volunteering in order to gain experience, but also to give my personal contribution to the community. I found that I am able to share and transfer my experience with youth who are interested in continuing their studies.
I wanted to move to Germany to improve, so I worked hard to earn enough money to support me. Last year I were not able to get a scholarship as I were not student. In addition, I knew I needed to get better, so all the time I try to keep update myself and develop my knowledge in my field. To proof this claim during my staying in Germany I have attended in some English specific courses such as writing skills, and German courses. To get better I also decided to not get a job but focus on develop me as a student who studies English studies. Now my money is low but I still want to focus. I have therefore decided to apply for…scholarship, because I am know a better student than before but still need time to improve and finish my master studies in four semesters.
I consider myself a good candidate for …scholarship because I am highly motivated, energetic, and hardworking diligent who believes that I can do something for the benefit of the world. I did my best with all maximum efforts. However, this is not enough. Frankly, I am not satisfied yet with what I did. I believe that I can do much better as I have been trained and developed during the years of studying in Germany.

I want to thank you so much for allocating your time to assess my request,
Yours faithfully,
