  Statement of Purpose vs. Letter of Motivation: What Is the Key Difference for a Scholarship Application? When applying for a scholarship, one of the most important documents you may be asked to submit is a personal statement. The terminology, however, is not always consistent.

It may even be grammatically better than anything you have written before. But there is a problem. It may no longer sound like you. And that matters more than many applicants realise. Your motivation letter is evidence of you A ...
