How to write a Motivation letter for any international scholarships || 6 Important tips for Scholarships SOP.

Before writing SOP, make sure you have searched a program properly you are going to apply. The SOP should not be generic rather should reflect that it is specifically written for only this program.

Before writing an SOP, make sure you have searched a program (Scholarships/ Research) properly you are going to apply for. The SOP should not be generic rather should reflect that it is specifically written for only this program. If you include irrelevant stuff in it, the selection committee will reject your application. write to the point.

  1. Writing an SOP is not an easy task, to make it simple you need to read the website of the program thoroughly at least a couple of times to know what they want from a student. Sometimes professors/ Scholarships committee expects what they want. if you don’t read the call properly you will never be able to write a good SOP.
  2. An ideal SOP should emphasize your skills, and strengths, rationalize any evident weakness and should reflect your purpose behind applying for the particular program.
  3. My suggestion is to start writing an SOP with just a bullet point stating all your skills and strength relevant to the program. it will help the reader to understand what you said.
  4. Think of SOP as a virtual interview and imagine a person asking you about skills and how can you contribute to their program, then write the answers you think you would have given if it would have been a real interview.
  5. Don’t look for others’ SOP as those points will be in your mind rather than thinking about what your actual capabilities are. If you will write and tell your story on your own, it will surely make it unique.
  6. To do all that, make sure you have searched the program properly, you know yourself well and it must match your interest as well as your academic background.
