“Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe” said Galileo Galilei.

I am
interested in continuing my master’s degree in the field of mathematics in Hungarian University, quite
relevant to my previous educational background. I accomplished my bachelor degree in Mathematics
Education with honors at State University of Makassar in 2014.

Based on my strong academic background in mathematics, I plan to learn deeply mathematics in master
degree program. Continuing my master degree is important for me to reach my goal to be a
mathematics lecturer and researcher in the university. Mathematics is an important subject human
should learn since their existence on earth until the last as well as it is important knowledge for
improving human’s life. I am interested in mathematics since I was child and it leads me to choose
mathematics to study in university. Learning different branches of mathematics gives me a deeper
insight into mathematics, especially Algebra, Number Theory, and Geometry. I am fascinated by how
mathematics can link between things and how mathematics and real world can relate, as well as how
mathematics can give benefits for either personal or public life.

During my undergraduate study, I have been teaching mathematics in tutoring agency. I help students to
understand how beautiful mathematics is and how interesting it is. My involvement in agency helps me
to improve my responsibility, creativity, and team work skills.

Pursuing master of science in mathematics is for enhancing not only my knowledge of mathematics, but
also for my ability to solve problems, to think abstractly and to see the big picture, and to articulate
ideas with clarity and precision. Studying mathematics also will help me to develop analytical skills and
the ability to work in a problem solving environment.

When coming to Stipendium Hungaricum Program, it gives me a great opportunity to continue my study
and actualize my goal. I am interested in studying in Hungary because it is an area with historic urban
centers, a picturesque landscape, and a flourishing culture. It is also a relatively safe country with a low
rate of violent crime. Moreover, the Hungarian higher education has a considerable history and strong
traditions with institutions operating for hundreds of years.

Furthermore, the foremost reason why I really covet to study in Hungary because this Magyar country is
the land of inventors in various fields such as telephone exchange (Tivadar Puskas, 1878), refrigerator
(Leo Szilard, 1929), the soft-contact lense (Istvan Gyorffy, 1959), VW-Beetle Design (Bela Barenyi, 1925),
gramophone records (Karoly Peter Goldmark, 1948), Microsoft Excel (Karoly Simonyi, 1974), plasma TV
(Kalman Tihanyi, 1926 & 1936), color television (Karoly Peter Goldmark, 1948), holography (Dennis
Gabor), Vitamin C (Albert-Szent Gyorgyi), and Rubik (Erno Rubik), even a pen (Laszlo Biro). Hungary is a
country which has most widely Nobel laureates in the world. In Mathematics field, there are a lot of
famous mathematicians such as Dénes Kőnig and Jenő Egerváry which their earlier work of algorithm
was later developed by Harold Kuhn and now it is known as Hungarian Method, a combinatorial
optimization algorithm that solves the assignment problem in polynomial time.

After completing my master degree in Hungary, I will pursue my study in the field of algebra or
geometry. My ultimate goal is to return to my previous university, in State University of Makassar as a
researcher and lecturer so that I would be able to utilize the experiences I gained overseas in an
international environment, particularly for succouring students and raising mathematical research level
in State University of Makassar, and generally for assisting mathematics development in the world.
In regard to my programme choices, I have observed and finally chosen to learn mathematics for more
comprehensive knowledge in pure mathematics and introduction into doing research. Because of it,
Master of Science in Eötvös Lorand University is my first option. It is followed by my other options, those
are MSc in Applied Mathematics in Budapest University of Technology and Economics as the second
choice and also in University of Debrecen as the third choice for profound knowledge of applied
mathematics which is competitive both in the academic and non-academic sectors.

I will be grateful if I can become an awardee of Stipendium Hungaricum because it is a big help for me to
achieve my goal in the future.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely

Aswarini Puspa Arnas

Dear members of the scholarship committee,

I am writing this letter to express my situation for availing the scholarship for my
undergraduate studies.

Every time I plan on deciding whether to apply or not for the University studies the factor
that pulls me back is affordability of the undergraduate studies. I grew up in a middle
class family in Pakistan and my parents have always supported me and my siblings
during schooling. They were determined to provide us education, which was not easily
accessible to them because of the difficult circumstances. Thanks to my determination,
hard work and their support I have graduated from the high school as one the best
pupils in the class.

Even so, doing undergraduate University studies abroad is not affordable for my family.
My father is now retired because he was not able to work after his limb amputation
surgery and my mother is working as a teller in the local branch office of the bank. In
these circumstances without this scholarship my dream of studying in the renowned
university in the USA will remain a dream.

My parents and family are not in the position to fund my studies, because most of our
family income covers only the care and medicines for my father and food costs. I am
doing a part time job for several years, however the money I have earned during last
two years was enough to cover only application fees for the University. Since I am not in
the position to pay the first installment of the tuition, my enrollment is still pending, even
though I have been accepted for Undergraduate studies (Bachelor) in Internet
technologies.

I really wish to get the scholarship through which I will have a chance to study in an
excellent University and pave a road to my future career and accomplishment of my life
goals. It will give me freedom to study without thinking about the future financial burden
and relieving my parents from the stress of not being able to support my education.

This scholarship opportunity I perceive as an extraordinary chance to interact with

students and scholars from diverse professional and cultural backgrounds coming from
all the World. This type of networking is very important for integration of different ideas
and perspectives pertaining to diverse global issues.

At the end I would like to point out that I am determined to make the most out of the
scholarship program. I believe that being a student in prestigious University would not
only empower my career development, but would give me the tools to utilize my full
potentials.

I am grateful for considering my application and I look forward to a favorable reply.

Sincerely,
My name is ________.

The aim of this letter is to request an opportunity regarding Ph.D. in the field of solar thermal
technology more specifically solar cooling/refrigeration and heating. I had my B.Sc in
Mechanical Engineering from University of Engineering & Technology, Taxila, Pakistan and
M.Sc in Mechanical Engineering from College of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, National
University of Science & Technology, Rawalpindi Pakistan. My master’s thesis work is completed
and I have a final defense at the end of next month.

To add a genuine contribution of knowledge in the field of Mechanical Engineering & add
something to what has previously been known on the subject, I really want to conduct a
research work at doctorate level in the field of solar thermal technology (Solar Heating &
Cooling) which may include areas like heat transfer, refrigeration & air-conditioning, solar
thermal systems, Power Plants, internal combustion engines etc.

My M.Sc Thesis title is “Modeling & analysis of solar assisted adsorption cooling system”. This
work is concerned with the study of two configurations of solar assisted adsorption cooling
system to meet cooling load of 46kW for an office building located at Islamabad. In
configuration-I, return water from adsorption chiller always flows towards hot water storage
tank which is connected to the solar collector. In configuration-II, return water from adsorption
chiller may become isolated from collector-storage tank loop if water temperature in the
storage tank is less than required temperature i.e. (85C°). Since adsorption chiller can be
driven by a low-grade heat at lower temperature range 50-85 C° therefore Flat plate collector
and/or Evacuated tube collector can be used. The two system configurations were modeled
and analyzed in TRNSYS. Parametric analysis was then carried out to investigate the optimum
collector tilt angle, least collector area for a maximum solar fraction, fractional primary energy
savings, and solar collector thermal efficiency.

Therefore I have acquired a respectable level of understanding in the field of solar cooling and
heating systems. Absence of even a single solar thermal cooling system here in Pakistan to
conduct practical research and hence availability of very few people who truly understands the
implementation of this technology from practical point of view, power crisis in Pakistan since
2005 which demands implementation of energy efficient solar thermal cooling system are few
reasons which really motivated me to continue my doctorate level research in this area. That
was the thirst of practical exposure of this technology which motivated me to conduct research
at Technical University Ilmenau.

Presently I am applying for DAAD Ph.D. Research Grant and if being nominated for this
scholarship scheme DAAD will sponsor my Ph.D. For this, I have to arrange an acceptance letter
from the German Professor and get admission at university/research institute. I look forward
to a committed research where I can not only use my academic knowledge to achieve my
research goals but also make original scientific contributions to my area of interest and to
mankind in general. I will, therefore, be grateful to your Research group if you can give me
admission in my above-mentioned research area.

Sincerely,
