A Letter of Application for a Student Loan

October 14, 2007

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to you to apply for a student loan. As a freshman from the English Department, I have much financial difficulty in continuing my study.

There are five members in my family. My father is the only breadwinner of the whole family while my mother was laid off two years ago. My grandmother has been suffering a chronic illness for more than five years. My younger brother is now studying in a high school. I took part-time jobs during the summer vacation, but what I have earned is far from enough for me to pay the required tuition fees. In order to continue my study, I have to apply for a student loan.

If my request is granted, I will make good use of the money and put my heart into study. I will definitely pay back the loan according to the requirements. I hope that you will consider my application.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Gao Peng

助学贷款申请信

2007年10月14日

相关人员诸君：

我写这封信以申请助学贷款。作为英语系的新生，我在学习上有经济困难。

我家共有五名成员。我的母亲两年前下岗，只有我父亲一个人支撑着全家。我的奶奶有慢性疾病。我的弟弟正在上高中。我虽然有在暑假打工，但挣到的钱远不足以支付我的学费。因此我申请助学贷款。

如果我可以得到许可，我会好好使用这笔钱，专心学习。我一定会按照要求偿还利息。我希望各位可以考虑我的申请。

期待您的回复。

您真诚的

高鹏
