MISSING INFORMATION
My name is Susana LAST NAME and I am a primary school teacher (WHERE? WHAT GRADE DO YOU TEACH?). I am currently enrolled in a Masters program in Bilingual Education in this moment. In addition, I have awarded the importance about learning foreign languages and how is the best way to learn it, and also to teach it. I am interested in applying for the scholarship to study English in (COUNTRY/UNIVERSITY/PLACE)
TALK ABOUT YOUR ACADEMIC CAREER SO FAR. (ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS). THEN... WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO STUDY ENGLISH ABROAD? FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR EXPERIENCE LEARNING ENGLISH SO FAR? WHAT WOULD THE STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM PROVIDE YOU WITH THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL LIFE?
DO NOT GIVE THEM A 'PITY' STORY ABOUT HOW YOU SPENT YOUR MONEY ON A PRIVATE UNIVERSITY AND HOW YOU ONLY HAVE A PART-TIME JOB. SAY SOMETHING LIKE: With my current financial situation, I cannot afford to enroll in such a study abroad program without financial assistance. My part-time teaching salary and costs of the masters program does not provide me with extra $ .....
I would like to speak about my financial situation. It is not the best because I am so young and I have been studying “all my life”. However, I got a job in a school last year. But it is a partial job, and I can’t earn a lot of money. Actually, I had to pay my expensive master in a private university, and I spent part of my money. Furthermore, I am very glad because I am learning different and important things related to bilingual education. In addition, I spend hours and hours doing different task such as: projects, presentations, and some research with my classmates, and everything are useful for to learn. IRRELEVANT TO THE LETTER
Personally, I think that I could have a lot of chances to get one of the places and enjoying this important cultural immersion experience in Canada. WRITE ABOUT WHAT YOU WILL LEARN FROM THIS CULTURAL IMMERSION EXPERIENCE (NOT ABOUT "ENJOYING" IT)
To conclude, as a teacher I need (NO!) to go to Vancouver and to learn of this excellent experience, and also to share knowledge with people. YOUR CONCLUSION SHOULD SUMMARIZE FOR THEM WHY THEY SHOULD GIVE THE SCHOLARSHIP TO YOU,AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE.
