Write at least 150 words.

MODEL ANSWER>>>

Dear Principal,

I am writing this letter to enquire about any scholarship as I realize that the admission for the under graduate course I seek would not be easy without any financial assistance.

 I have successfully completed my higher-secondary education with GPA of 4.55 on a scale of 5. As I find enough seats for Physics are vacant at your college, I made an enquiry at your information desk. However, I realized that I have less chances to get enrolled as I cannot bear the admission fees as well as the first year fee, which is demanded in advance.

My family’s financial background was sound enough till the death of my father, who was our sole bread-winner. Since then my mother started working part-time as she has a keen desire to educate me further than sending me for job. I heard that your college has sponsors who avail scholarships to eligible admission seekers from poor economic backgrounds. If the information is true, I would like to apply for the same.  It would be also appreciated if you could intimate me other possible financial assistance with or without conditions.

 I look forward for a favorable reply.

 Yours faithfully,

 Thomas
