MOTIVATION STATEMENT: The Strategies

Motivation Statement is an important part that someone have to prepare when applying for any scholarships particular for those who want to study abroad. This statement covers your motivation, your plan for future development, and your strategy to make them real. Therefore, writing motivation statement must be written by yourself.

Remember, don't copy from others.
There are four strategies to write motivation statement.
  1. list details what you want to reach. you can start from short term plan until long term plan
  2. write more specific and reasonable. For example: what do you want to be in the ten years ? You have to give a reasonable answer. Sometimes people write, I want to be the president of a nation. It is specific but not reasonable.
  3. enter all experiences that you have got before that contribute to your decision or motivation.
  4. You have to know the relation between study program and your plan in the future.
