Dear Ms. Adams:

 My name is Eloise Barone, and I am writing to request an application for the spring 2024 semester of the Ridge Hills University financial aid program. I am a first-year psychology student pursuing a bachelor's degree in the College of Arts and Sciences. I am proud to be a Ridge Hills University student and am devoted to my academic growth. I am confident that I can continue to succeed and positively represent the university as a student on the Dean's List with a 3.89 grade point average. As a senior in high school, I had the opportunity to shadow and assist a psychologist and learn about therapeutic methods and techniques from a licensed individual.

 

This allowed me to explore my passion for helping others and witness the impact that licensed mental health team members can have on their patients.  Although this was a non-compensated position, it solidified my interest in obtaining a bachelor's degree in psychology and helped me comprehend the significance of a career in this field. I have several academic interests supplementing my major in psychology.  I hope to major in Spanish so that I can help a wider range of people in my community and work with a larger number of clients. I also hope to remain on the Dean's List throughout my academic career, which I was able to achieve in my first and second semesters.  I intend to pursue a master's degree and eventually become a licensed therapist after graduation. 

I hope to continue pursuing my education at this institution, and receiving funding from the financial aid program would allow me to do so with ease.  I appreciate your consideration and look forward to discussing this amazing scholarship opportunity with you. If you have any inquiries regarding my application, please contact me at 555-457-7856 or by email at Eloise.Barone@email.com.

 Sincerely,

 Baroness Eloise
