Help me pls! :)

Hello, everyone!
Can you help me with something? I'm applying for a scholarship in my college to study abroad for two months, so I have to write a "reason" that why I should go there.
Can you help me correcting any mistake? Thanks!!!!

"I’m applying for this exchange program’s scholarship to do research abroad for two months
because I think that share and exchange knowledge and experiences with people of other countries is a necessary thing to
improve not only yourself, but also the place that you study and/or work. This experience
would allow me to learn more about other culture, help me to become a “world citizen” and also give
me tools and a new background that I could bring it to Brazil and use it to improve and not
only my research and make me a better professional but also the scientific profile of my college. And I think that it's possible learning new kind of views from people of other countries."

I'm applying for this exchange program's scholarship to do reseach abroad for two months , and my reasons for applying are :

 It is one of those few opportunities that offers a student a chance to live for a relatively long time in a foreign land to bask in their culture as well as in whatever the country has to offer . As a student, these invaluable exposure at my early age will only serve me well later in life as it broadens my view of the world , enhances my experiences which I otherwise I would not have .

I would have to stand on my own feet ,and to be a foreigner among many locals and adapt , but , these are exactly the reasons I find this scholarship so appealing : the challenges it offers . They just motivate me . I would attempt to know all I could , as much as possible , about them and I would  want to share with them my own personal experiences too . My reseach would be as best as I could , and lessons to be learned from them would be as mush as I could get .

I hope to return after this exchange to be a more knowlgeable student who will be able to raise the scientific profile of my colleage .
