Tips for your motivation letter for the Erasmus Scholarship
What is the motivation letter to obtain an Erasmus scholarship? The cover letter is a document with a maximum of one page of extension, which is accompanied by the curriculum. The objective of the letter is to introduce you, briefly describe your academic background and describe the reasons why you want to study in Spain.
To help you get started, it is best to be clear about what your structure should be. This is the information you should include:
Contact information: name and surname, date of birth, contact information such as e-mail and telephone.
City and date on which you write the letter.
Courtesy greeting,
In the first paragraph, talk about why you want to participate in the Erasmus program and in what destination. Do not forget to mention that you want to benefit from the scholarship since the financial aid will help you finance this experience.
In the second paragraph you should talk about your academic training. Talking about your achievements and titles obtained and your goals in terms of training is the best way to present yourself. Try to emphasize how your stay in Spain will contribute positively to your career and why.
Do not forget, that doing an Erasmus abroad will not only give you an academic level, but it will enrich you enormously on a personal level.
On the internet you can find many examples of motivation letters, like the one you can see below:

Dear Sirs,
I have learned that Foz IES offers its students the possibility of joining the Erasmus program. Aware of the importance of becoming part of this project, I am writing to you with the firm intention of requesting one of the scholarships.
I am currently in the last year of middle school of ................... In the face of such a situation, I understand that this is an ideal opportunity for me. First, because I could benefit from the high degree of collaboration that exists between the Italian region where I want to do internships and very important companies in the sector. Second, because it would allow me to perfect a language as much as Italian is, it would also allow me to get closer and get to know cultures from all over the world, which undoubtedly complements my academic training in an extraordinary way. When I want to become part of the Erasmus program, I am aware of the opportunity I have before me, and for that reason I am convinced of making the most of it.
For all this, I consider that it is a unique opportunity for me to make a great qualitative leap when I finish my studies of a Superior Degree with a great curriculum, which will undoubtedly translate into better prospects in my more than near future work.
Attentively:
