It should be written by someone who knows you well and not by relatives or family members.

The letter should be printed on letterhead and signed.

Scholarships are not only awarded based on academic achievement.

Some scholarships are awarded based on sportsmanship or other talents, such as music or dance.

Good grades in exams such as the TOEFL or IELTS will increase your chances of being chosen. Your command of the English language is critical.
