Applying for a ScholarshipApplying for a Scholarship

Dear Sirs,I would like to apply for a British

Council Scholarship to study in Britain.I am in my final year of a 4-year

degree course in Civil Engineering at East China University of Science and Technology In our last two years we have to choose an optional subject, and I have opted for Urban Planning, with special interest in the planning of traffic-free city centers. Moreover, I have had some working experience:

I worked as an unpaid assistant for three months (May to July last year) in the Planning Bureau of the Shanghai Municipal Government.

I am not involved in any current research, but my reading has included many articles and reports, several of which were from Great Britain and the USA, on traffic-free shopping centers many Chinese cities suffer from the dense traffic there.

The reason I would like to study in Britain is to have the opportunity of learning from those planners who are responsible for present and future developments in the area.

I understand that Leeds Universities is heavily engaged in this work, and consequently, I have applied to the admission. I would be most grateful if you can grant me a scholarship so that I can pursue my graduate study in Britain.

Yours faithfully
