Dear Mr. /Ms. /Mrs. [SURNAME OF RECIPIENT],

I am submitting my application for the [NAME OF SCHOLARSHIP] which I heard will benefit [N] college bound students who have financial needs. I recently graduated from [NAME OF HIGH SCHOOL] and am in the process of admissions at [NAME OF COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY] for a [DEGREE] degree. 

My interest in the [FIELD] field of work began [EXPLAIN WHY YOU ARE PURSUING YOUR CHOSEN DEGREE]. I firmly believe that my personal and academic skills will be put to good use in studying the course work, and will enable me to become an efficient professional in the field. However, as is the case of most who pursue tertiary education, the expenses are quite hard to accommodate, especially if one's financial status barely makes the minimum. 

Still, I am not disheartened to pursue my dream of becoming a [PROFESSION]. I trust in my thirst for learning, and I know that I will be more than willing to do what it takes to push through college. The financial assistance from your scholarship grant would be a great help to me, since I am still looking for ways to earn money to pay for my initial college fees. If fortune favors me and I am awarded this scholarship, nothing of the amount will be laid to waste. 

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Enclosed with my application is a recommendation letter from my high school teacher and several other requirements listed on your scholarship announcement. I hope to hear from you soon. 

Sincerely yours,

[Name of Applicant]
