APPLICATION FOR SCHOLARSHIP
I hereby apply for the NETTPAD EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP.
I would like to state few out of the many reasons why I believe I deserve this scholarship.
Firstly, I am the first male in a family of six. My parents fall to the lower middle class salary earner, with a total income of Thirty eight thousand, five hundred naira per annum (N38,500/annum). This salary scheme made feeding and accommodation more difficult to be combined with my education. This condition makes the family poor and indigent. If I am awarded this scholarship, it will make it easier for me to function well in my educational goals.
Secondly, I think I deserve this scholarship because I had worked hard most of my life academically. I put so much effort in anything I choose to do, or any task accorded to me. My goals in life are often extremely high. I base my goals on the quote “Shoot for the moon: even if you lose, you will land among the stars”. When I set goals for myself, I do everything in my power to achieve them, and if I happen to fall short of my goals in life, I take pride in myself and give glory to God, knowing that I did my best. I think that the drive I have to succeed, and to impart knowledge into the life of the ones coming behind me is one of many reasons why I deserve this scholarship.
Furthermore, I think I deserve this scholarship because I always strife to get myself motivated to learn, despite all odds and learning difficulties.
As a student of Mathematics and Education, I need this scholarship to help finance my project-works, my assignments and my researches. The motivation and aspiration to pay back what will be imparted in me academically as a qualified teacher, deserves a reasonable financial aid like the Scholarship. If I am awarded this scholarship, it will be easier to focus more on my academics.
In addition, I involved myself in a project, which had been implemented but I find difficult to accomplish due to financial difficulties. The

My grandfather was the one who really got me interested in Japan. He would always tell me stories about the culture, people, the little bits of language that he picked up, and the time that he spent there. My grandfather would have loved me going to Japan and would have supported me whole heartedly. I want to go to Japan not only to see what he saw, but also to improve the little that I know and improve myself.…

A more privileged person may not comprehend the magnitude of scholarships and financial awards to secure educational success, but I do. I do not take this lightly, nor do I take it for granted. I believe that I have worked hard, but even that does not guarantee success. This scholarship will enable me to obtain my degree and begin my dream of being a professional in the medical field.…
