Motivational Letter for a Scholarship

I have always wanted to work for the development of my country. During the undergraduate programme, my field works and theoretical studies created more passion in me for knowing the knowledge and critical insights into the socio-cultural, environmental and other challenges of achieving sustainable development at both the local and global level. My long-time objective is to see myself as a Researcher in one of the Research and Development organization. To reach my goals; I realize that I must learn more about the intricacies involved in the area and this is why I would like to pursue a Master’s programme at Uppsala University which would not only boost up my career but also add a special respect for me. I have a feeling that the opportunity your scholarship will provide, I can contribute to the development of a developing country like Bangladesh.

My performances in the class projects and field reports grabbed the attention of our faculties and I was appointed as a Research Assistant in a funded research project in my department. A prestigious scholarship from a reputed university like yours can not only distinguish me from my classmates’ but also help me to enjoy my educational experience. Moreover, listing one or more scholarship awards on my resume can make me more appealing to prospective employers. Last but not least, the cost of a university education is rising day by day and it’s very much common for the students like me from a middle-class family to seek out scholarship funding, no matter how small the amount.

In Bangladesh, we are lagging behind in term of research and as I want to be a researcher, a Master’s degree from Uppsala University which is very famous for its research environment will enable me to work with different research organization here and improve their quality of research in different aspects.

My family and friends are supporting me but this is not quite enough to make my dream come true. I need as much help as possible and I hope that your university can help me reach this dream by awarding me your scholarship.
