Request Letter
You are interested in applying for a scholarship program to study at a foreign university.
Write a letter requesting the authorities at the university to provide you with details regarding
the course.
I have recently completed my graduation from the Vellore Institute of Technology in Design
and my major was Engineering Systems and Design. I am writing to get the details about the
scholarship program that your university offers.
I would like to pursue my Master’s degree at the University of London and I am looking
forward to getting a scholarship in the department of Engineering System and Design. As I
want to build a career in the Engineering sector, I would like to complete my Master's degree
in the same stream that I did for my graduation.
I look forward to your reply and would appreciate your guidance regarding this.
Yours faithfully,
Rakesh
