Dear Sirs,

I am writing to apply to the scholarship program of your institute. I have always been dreaming to develop my skills and knowledge in the painting art. This program will give me a possibility to learn about the best pianists from all over the world and to learn how to make paintings using various technics.

After the study I will be able to open my own school, where I will teach children how to make paintings.

I am 15 years old, I am a student of the Moscow Arts college. I have been fond of painting since my childhood. I have already participated in three big expositions (my works are enclosed). I am goal-oriented and hard working. I like learning something new and developing myself.

Participation in the Program could be a new start for my career. My parents are ready to invest in my school in the future, but I need to get the necessary knowledge.

I hope you will satisfy my request and provide me with the possibility to participate in your Program.

Looking forwards to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Olga
