RE: Application for Harvard University College Scholarship cover letter

Dear Susan,
I was so excited when I fi rst read about the $10,000 scholarship that American University Women Charity Foundation
gives to one lucky college student. My goal is to go to Harvard University to pursue an engineering degree. It has
always been my passion to become an engineer ever since I was a little girl. My father was an engineer before his
tragic decease, and he was a very successful one and was respected very much by his colleagues. By completing
my engineering degree, I feel that I will not only further my career but also pay tribute to my father who gave his life
for his calling. Being an engineer means everything to me.
I graduated from Lexington High School in 2017 with honors. I took a year off to travel and see the world, but now
I am ready to get back to school. I was an outstanding student at my high school. I was a member of the future
scientists club. I was the school valedictorian and tried to get involved in any extracurricular activity that the school
off ered, as much as possible. I believe in self-fulfi llment both at academic and social levels.
I know that, as American University Women Charity Foundation, you will receive thousands of applications for this
scholarship. I believe that you will consider my application and allow me to fulfi l my dream of being a successful
engineer. The fi eld is challenging and it has diffi cult classes; however, I feel that I will have no problems arising to this
challenge. To be an engineer means everything to me. However, with the expenditures of room, transportation, books
and all the other basics, it is going to be a big ticket. I appreciate your consideration.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Your sincerely,
Karen
