Special thanks to Osama Elsheikh for providing these helpful tips.
- Be Clear and Concise
Your letter should be clear, direct, and to the point. Avoid using overly complicated language or long sentences. Scholarship committees usually review many applications, so keeping your letter concise makes it easier for them to read and understand.
Example:
“I am applying for the undergraduate scholarship at the Somali National University for the 2024-2025 academic year. I believe my academic background and passion for learning make me an ideal candidate.”
- Introduce Yourself Properly
Start by introducing yourself and providing key details such as your name, current education level, and why you are writing. This helps the reviewer quickly understand who you are and what you’re applying for.
Example:
“My name is Ahmed Mohamed, and I recently graduated from Khartoum High School with honors in the science track. I am writing to express my interest in the Somali Government Scholarship for undergraduate studies.”
- Show Your Enthusiasm
Explain why you are excited about this opportunity. Express your interest in the scholarship program and why it aligns with your academic or professional goals.
Example:

Mention any relevant qualifications or experiences that make you a strong candidate. This could include academic achievements, extracurricular activities, or volunteer work related to your field of study.
Example:
“During my school years, I consistently ranked among the top students in my class, and I was also a member of the school’s science club, where we conducted various community health awareness campaigns.”
- Be Personal, but Professional
Use a friendly yet professional tone. Show your personality, but avoid being overly casual. This balance helps your letter stand out while maintaining a respectful tone.
Example:
“This scholarship is more than just financial assistance to me; it represents an opportunity to contribute to the medical field and improve healthcare in Sudan.”
- State Your Intentions Clearly
Let the committee know what you plan to do with your education and how the scholarship will help you achieve your future goals.
Example:
“With this degree, I hope to return to Sudan and work in underserved communities, where there is a great need for qualified healthcare professionals.”

End your letter by thanking the committee for considering your application. This leaves a positive impression.
Example:
“I appreciate your time and consideration of my application, and I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to both my community and the university.”
