To Whom It May Concern

I am Anna Lee, a Final-year student at Havard University and one of the recipients of
the university’s financial aid package since my freshman year. I am very thankful for
being chosen as one of the students to be granted the university financial aid package.

I sincerely desire to attend Oxford University this school year, but apparently, it will be
difficult for me to do so without additional financial aid. In this regard, I am kindly
requesting to have my financial aid package be submitted for your review and
consideration. I would greatly appreciate your help regarding this matter.

I have enclosed all the necessary documents you may require for your review of my
appeal including the required financial aid appeal form from your office and other
documents.

Thank you again for your generosity and consideration.

Regards,

Anna Lee
Final-Year Student, Havard University

Subject:  Scholarship application letter.

Dear Gregory,

I am doing MCA final year in your college. In the first semester exam I have
got very good marks. And even in the year 2008-2009 I have also got 
scholarship based on my high academic grades.

My father was a government teacher and now he is retired. He is getting a 
pension of Rs 900/- per month. This amount of money is not enough for 
education fees. So because of my bad financial condition, please I request 
you to give me scholarship for the final year.

Thank you for your consideration of my application.

Thanking you.

Yours Truly,

Patricia J. Culbreth.

Cover letter for a 2-year fellowship providing experience in both public and technical services  
but focusing primarily on management training. 
 
Dear Search Committee members, 
 
With enthusiasm I write to apply for the xxxxxx Library Fellows position. My library 
experience

,

 coupled

with my education

,

 make me an ideal candidate for this 

position

.  

This academic year I am the President of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s ALA 
Student Chapter, a role which has afforded me the opportunity to gain extensive leadership 
experience. Our team of officers worked well together as we planned workshops, speaker 
engagements, and social activities. This responsibility, in conjunction with my class work, has 
helped me to realize that, in the long term, I would like to pursue employment in management 
and administration within academic libraries. I believe the xxxxxxx Fellowship would put me on 
the right path to achieving my professional goals. 

 
Currently, I am a paid intern in the Reference and Instructional Services Department of UNCG’s 
Jackson Library. This position has allowed me to gain valuable experience working in an 
academic reference environment by assisting graduate and undergraduate students as well as 
faculty with research in person, over the phone and via chat. All of the interns participate in 
weekly training sessions and workshops on different aspects of academic librarianship such as 
conducting the reference interview, finding legal resources, and researching government 
information. As part of this internship experience I co-taught

several English 101 classes and I 

discovered that I really enjoy teaching. 
 
I hold a BA in xxxxxxx from the University of xxxx and a master’s degree in xxxx from the 
University of xxxx, and I am scheduled to complete my ALA-accredited MLIS at UNCG on 
May 14, 2008. My degrees have provided me with the opportunity to take courses in a variety of 
fields, and in researching papers for those classes, I have gained extensive knowledge of both 
print and electronic resources in many of the humanities and social sciences disciplines. This 
background has been very helpful in my work as a Reference Intern.

 
I have also gained a great deal of experience in cataloging in technical service departments at 
UNCG, at xxxxx College, and at xxxx Public Library through my practicum and internship 
opportunities. Working in various capacities in three different libraries has been very enjoyable 
so I see this fellowship as a chance to get an even better understanding of how public service and 
technical service departments function in an academic library. 
 
As my enclosed resume attests, I have the skills and abilities to be an asset to the xxxxx 
Libraries. I would be happy to discuss my qualifications and abilities with you further. Thank 
you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you. 
 
Sincerely yours,

RE: Scholarship Application

Dear Mr Barnabas,

I am writing to submit my application for Concordia University College of
Alberta’s Scholarship Program for fall 2022.  Presently, I am a first-year
student of the Master of Computer Science program. In order to prove my
diligence, I have enclosed copies of my academic accomplishments.

I am currently facing some financial difficulties, which has seen me struggle
to pay my fee for the fall semester. I am planning to obtain a part-time job
to manage the finances of my studies, but it would not be enough to cover
the full tuition and accommodation fee.

Based on my deprived financial condition, I request for a student
scholarship so that I would be able to continue my studies in anticipation of
an improved financial situation.

If you have any questions regarding my application, please feel free to
contact me anytime at (000) 555-0335.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
