respected sir,
It gives me immense pleasure to write this letter to recommend Mansi Mathur for the student scholarship for the academic year YYYY-YYYY at our prestigious university. Mansi has done both her graduation and post graduation from our university and now wants to apply for the PhD program.
I have personally known her since her graduation days and can vouch for her sincerity. She is an avid reader and has a really good skill to deal with people she is a friendly person. She is an excellent hockey player and was a part of her college dramatics society. Also, she been has been the gold medalist throughout her college days.
Due to financial constraints, she has been experiencing some difficulty in applying for the Ph.D. program. I sincerely feel we should not lose such a bright and hardworking student who will only bring more name and fame to our college. This year I sincerely hope that she will be the one who gets the scholarship, my support is with and prayers are with her.
Thanking you
Yours sincerely
Sneha Shah
