Dear Mr. Reger:
I am currently attending Clatsop Community College in Astoria. I am currently holding a 3.72 GPA. I am working on my AAOT Degree so that I can transfer to Oregon State University or Portland University. I am going to continue my education in the field of Education. I am submitting my application in hopes that I will be considered for the OSPA Scholarship. Being selected for this scholarship will help me to achieve my goal in becoming a teacher. I appreciate the opportunity the scholarship will give me.
One of the most important things in a person’s life is their education. Without education we cannot go far in life. As a child I really enjoyed learning and because of this I excelled in anything I applied myself to. However except for my freshman year in high school, I attended Horizon Instructional Systems. This was a state funded Charter school. During my freshman year in high school I did not feel that my needs were being met. I was completely unengaged and felt no challenge whatsoever. My decision to attend a charter school was supported by my parents. I felt that I would be challenged and would feel engaged because I could work at my speed and level. I graduated at the top of my class. The required credits to graduate were 250. I had well over 350, more than 100 than the entire graduating class. Having that opportunity and that visionary education really inspired me to become an educator.
If you wish to change something for the better, then you need to become a part of it. I want nothing more than to support my little girl and to become a proud educator in Oregon. In the area that I live the need for teachers is great. I would like to finish my degree and begin my career in the Clatsop County School District. I believe that I can make a difference and would be grateful for the opportunity.
I welcome any questions that you may have. I can be contacted at XXX-XXX-XXXX, at my email address or at the address listed above.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Adina Baidoo

Cover letters are never easy to write, especially when you have to talk about your own accomplishments! You did very well and hopefully you get good scholarships!
ReplyDeleteThat was Elisa ^^^
ReplyDeleteYour letter is very passionate. Our education system is consistently overlooked and underfunded. Perhaps if you included examples of the differences you want to make in this field your letter would be that much more powerful and convince the people in charge that you mean business. Never stop learning. Cristine
