Letter of Motivation

Last week, I was trying to make a motivation letter in english for scholarship in my campus. I plan to post my letter on my blog if I am chosen. But, eventhough I am not chosen, maybe some people can use my letter as a sample. Being the candidate or not, I hope my blogs’ reader can have a reference from my experience.

Thanks for erasmus mundus’s blog in Bahasa Indonesia, which inspires me a lot during my process.

2. Reason for choosing a subject in that field.
3. What will you do if you are chosen.
4. After finish, what is your goal and act?

This is my letter of motivation. If you want to make a copy, please add the source and copyright.
