Hello, I come from Singapore. I have three draft letters - covering letter, CV and personal statement. I am trying to apply a scholarship for my oversea education. How can I meet the objective of scholarship organisation? I am clueless about scholarship application. The few ogranisations do not provide the application forms but have the objectives.

Personally, I do not wish to ask my parents as my another sponsors. Thank you

Honestly, it really depends which scholarship you are applying for. Many times there are requirements on what you need to include in the letter, and this is heavily dependant on the actual scholarship. Obviously applying to a corporation scholarship from Pepsi, will be a bit different than the requirements for a academic essay type scholarship.

After a quick google search I found these articles somewhat helpful - but you need to be sure to check the actual scholarship guidelines of the committee your actually writing for.
Ehow has some good guildelines in this article - here
Another comprehensive list: writing lovers
scholarships.com is also a good source - they have a lot of scholarships and details on how and when to apply.
scholarshipsngrants.com has a list of scholarships if your just getting into college, as well as a few tips and resources on how and where to apply.

Good luck!

When you write a letter asking for scholarship money you are highlighting your accomplishments and achievements. You will be trying to convince the scholarship committee that you have unique abilities and talents that make you stand out as an applicant to be considered and selected. The content and focus of your scholarship letter should show that you have the required initiative and leadership necessary to successfully complete the college program that you are seeking to obtain financial support for. Here are some helpful hints and tips on how to write a letter asking for scholarship money.
