To whom it may concern,
I am writing to express my enthusiastic interest in the Master of Public Administration (MPA) program at Harvard University. With a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a strong commitment to public service, I am eager to contribute to and benefit from the esteemed academic environment at your prestigious institution.
At the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I gained extensive public policy and governance knowledge through coursework, internships, and roles in housing reform advocacy and policy analysis research. I am eager to join Harvard's Kennedy School of Government to work with influential faculty, like Professor David King, aligning with my urban policy career goals.
My dedication to public administration is reflected in my internship with the City of Springfield, where I contributed to the development of a new community outreach program that increased resident engagement by 30%. Additionally, my volunteer work with non-profit organizations such as Springfield Community Action has allowed me to address local social issues and support underserved populations.
Harvard's focus on innovation and leadership makes it ideal for my growth and impact. I'm excited to collaborate with diverse peers and engage in transformative policy research. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing how my background aligns with your program.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
