Respected Sir,

This is Paul James Reed and I am a registered biotechnology research scholar. I would like to apply for a scholarship of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India to take up post doctoral studies in biotechnology from the University of Michigan, US. I have always been an excellent student in terms of academics and I have nine Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) in my M. Tech from IIT in Kanpur during the past year. I enclosed herewith copies of my certificates and academic testimonials for your review. I want to study artificial intelligence in biotechnology gene therapy and I am dreaming to develop artificial limbs in our nation.

My younger brother is physically challenged and I have witnessed how difficult it is for him to do their daily chores and their studies as well. This is the reason why I wanted to commit myself to the research in the development of artificial limbs and I want to do it in the Jaipur artificial limb centre. I would like to be of serve my beloved country in this field if I will be granted with this scholarship.

Thanking you very much.

Sincerely Yours,

Paul James Reed

Sir,

In relation to your recent circulation, for me to be able to proceed with my B. Tech in Mechanical Engineering and to continue with higher studies in IIT, I would like to apply for a TATA Foundation scholarship. I have been an excellent student throughout my academic life and I was able to sustain an average of 86%. I attached in this letter some copies of all the certificates that I have received at school in case you will be needing them.

We are a poor family and my father has an annual income that falls within the scholarship-eligibility criterion and I enclosed with this letter the certificate of his annual income. I will strive hard to keep my average above 90% in this B. Tech course and I know that this scholarship grant will be of great help in the realization of my dream of becoming an IITian. I will bear in mind that I need to strive hard to meet your expectations and I am going to prove to you that I will make it and that I can bring glory to this institution.

Thank you very much.

Respectfully yours,

Andres Clark,

Hi Gracia,

I am congratulating you for having been chosen to be a recipient of the Rhodes Foundation scholarship to take up your higher education in Princeton University, US. I saw the file today from my Vice President and he told me your academic achievements and was praising you for being an intelligent student. Your steadfast attitude paid off at the exact time and your parents’ dreams are going to come true.

I encourage that you take up biotechnology as your main subject in MS and have some specialization since it is a starting subject and India has a rewarding future for it. You need to furnish us two copies of your qualification certificates and annual income certificate of your father on or before Aug. 30. The moment you have the final decision you need to be subjected to a formal interview with our boss. Prepare yourself for this meeting and our boss will try to read your personality from your facial expression as well as your bodily gestures. Please be in a light colored dress and observed pleasant expressions during the interview.

Best wishes.

Truly yours,

Respected Sir,

I am writing this letter to formally apply for JRD TATA memorial scholarship to continue with my higher studies in Chemistry. I was constantly a performing student in terms of academics and have always maintained an average of not less than 90%(CGPA-9). Together with this letter are copies of my certificates ever since I stated studying and the actually income certificate of my father. I know that this charitable institution motivates students to bring glory and pride to India in numerous fields in academics and I firmly believe that I can satisfy all these expectations with my diligence.

My family is a middle class family and for financial reasons my father cannot send me to prestigious schools. I have always wanted to do my post graduation at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, and MS from Princeton University, US. I have always wanted to contribute to gene decoding for artificial life and I am doing my best to achieve excellence in this field if aided financially in the process.

Thanking you.

Respectfully Yours,
