Ms. Anita Money Financial Aid Officer, Jacksonville University 700 Pelham Road North Jacksonville, Alabama 36265

Dear Ms. Money:

I would like to submit a résumé and application for the Leadership Scholarship, which is listed on the official Jacksonville State University webpage.

I am writing to you because I feel I meet the qualifications listed in the Leadership Scholarship. I have been part of the Youth Leadership of Calhoun County. As a part of this organization, I represented my school in various activities that dealt with learning how to become a better leader in the community. I have also been the Senior Class President and Band Captain. During my time in these positions, I was tasked with being the voice of reason among my peers and keeping the peace in my school’s band. I believe these experiences make me eligible for the leadership Scholarship.

I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you regarding the scholarship. I am available for an interview at your convenience. Please contact me by phone at 256-555-5555 or by email at [email protected].

Sincerely.

John Q. Smith
