Dear school leaders and teachers,

I am a student xx. Because of family difficulties, I want to apply for a grant from the school. My family lives in a small village. There are four people in the family. The only laborers in my family are my parents, but they have been ill. Because there is no culture and capital, I have to do coolies and short-term jobs for a living, and I have been living in poverty for more than ten years.

In terms of study, I have achieved good results in conduct during my school days, and I am law-abiding, honest and trustworthy, and keep my promises. In life, because of family financial difficulties, life is frugal.

With the grant, I will put more energy into my future study, complete my studies, strive for excellent graduation and win glory for my class and school. Through our own continuous efforts, we will constantly acquire knowledge and methods and lay a good foundation for the future. Prepare for future study.

I hereby apply for your approval.

Salute!
