Scholarship Application Letter
L.L.M. Environmental and Natural Resources Law and Policy
To Whom it May Concern:
My name is …. and I am writing in application for a scholarship to assist me
throughout my time studying in the Environmental and Natural Resources LLM
program at the University of Denver.
Being awarded the chance to study further in my field at the University of Denver is an
incredible opportunity for me and one I intend to seize wholeheartedly without
reservation. I have consistently proven throughout my previous studies and working
experience than when presented with an opportunity I will strive as hard as I can to best
represent myself and reward those who have granted me a chance to prove such. This is
evident in my continuing relations with University of ____ and my professional mentors
at _____in Santiago, Chile. Despite financial hardship I have always done what is
necessary to further my studies and work experience. This includes six months of Pro
Bono work helping the poor here in Chile in family trials as well as two solid years of
balancing paralegal work alongside my study commitments in order to be able to pay the
very considerable fees required to study law in Chile.
Relocating from Santiago, Chile for the duration of the program represents a huge
challenge and while it is one I am fully committed to, it does present considerable
financial strain. I will be doing my utmost to not let this effect my participation and
concentration required to gain as much as I can from the program. I am, however, also
relocating with my wife and as such will have a greatly increased financial burden to
overcome throughout this coming time.
As partners, my wife and I are both committed to ensuring that this will be a successful
period for the both of us. My wife will be looking for work opportunities wherever she
can study in Denver. Hence, leaving our home in Chile and relocating to Denver with the
increasing cost of flights, accommodation and living expenses it is certain to be a
challenging time.
This scholarship represents to me an opportunity to fully focus my attention on the main
objective of achieving the best I can in the Environmental and Natural Resources
program. I will strive to be a representative and ambassador of University of Denver
throughout my future career and am very thankful to be able to attend this course. I thank
you for taking the time to evaluate this application and look forward to arriving in Denver
soon.
Sincerely,
