3rd year Criminology student. I wrote this letter of intent to inform you that I want to apply for a scholarship. I am an only child, our source of income only comes from my father who is a fireman but his salary cannot fully support my tuition fee so we struggle every period of payment to pay the fees. He is growing old as well and he is about to reach the compulsory retirement age so our source of income may be cut off anytime soon. The reason why I am applying for scholarship is to at least take some burden off my father and to save up some money as well.
