The person writing your letter should be a renowned individual but they must also know you well enough to comment on your work performance and your character and if you are applying for a teaching grant, then head of your school can also write a letter of recommendation for you. I would recommend that you write and submit a number of letters to validate the authenticity and impact of your application.

Dear respected sir, I, Khagendra Prasad Lamichhane, am a Nepalese citizen. I was seeking the opportunities to do a Ph.D from the world’s best Universities in Mathematics Education for some years. But due to financial constraints I could not grab the opportunity. So I most respectfully beg to state that I will be honored by the scholarship which has been providing for foreign students. In addition, I have completed a Master’s Degree securing 72.60 % marks from the central college, T. U. of Nepal. My interested areas to do research are Ethno-mathematics, practical aspects of mathematics, linking up mathematics with construction, HRM, Child psychology, teaching methodology, leadership skill, inter-connection between management and mathematics and marxism.
Furthermore, I have been teaching mathematics up to 12th grade for 11 years and playing a role of academic leader in my institution for 3 years.

Hello Yousaf. You’ve been pretty great at securing scholarships because of your track record, I’d like to pick your brain to glean a host of insights that I’m sure would better equip me to experience a similar ability to secure scholarships. Can you provide me with some tips for application?
Thank you, Nabil for your appreciation. My recommendation for all scholarship applicants is to pay attention to even small details of your application package. Work smartly on your research proposals, study plans, or motivation letters, and try to market your profile/application as the best candidate for the institution which compels an institution to recruit you for their program. Provide scientific justifications on how you excel in the academic field, and how you can be productive for both yourself and for the institution. Lastly, take time in filling out applications, submit all required documents, apply for more than one scholarship, and don’t wait for submitting your application till the deadline.
