2.2.2 Opening Paragraph of Statement for a Stanford University
Fellowship in Writing Fiction
For much of the last five years I’ve lived abroad, teaching English and selling an
occasional article. Most recently I’ve been in the Republic of Moldova, that former
Soviet job scrunched between Romania and Ukraine. Despite the demands of a full-
time teaching load, and being a foreigner with some reputation for fun, I managed to
write in Moldova. It wasn’t easy, sneaking off to write while my friends were at
discotheques frequented by mafiosos and girls in skirts no longer than a hedgehog’s
snout. But I had to get my writing done. I had to finish my book. And during a week-
long spring vacation, I covered my ground-floor windows with blankets and
unplugged the phone. I played dead when people came knocking, calling, “Kevin, we
know what you home!” But I finished. I finished that damn book.
What do you think of this one?
2.3 The body of the paper
In these paragraphs you need to prove that you are the right person for the
degree program/fellowship/etc. And you’ll need to tie these things together:
Your past proposed course of study your future
How your studies at
secondary school (if
relevant) and at
university, as well as any
other work or study
experience has prepared
you for the course of
study that you wish to
take.
Mention perhaps what
made you the person you
are; what personal or
professional obstacles
you have overcome.
This is what you want,
the position or fellowship
you’re writing about.
Explain why it’s a
perfect follow up to your
past experiences, and a
necessary precursor to
your future plans.
This should be something
for which your proposed
course of study is
valuable or essential, and
should have some logical
connection to what went
before. Don’t say what
you “hope” to do but
what you’re “going to
do” or “planning to do”.
Note – Your statement doesn’t need to be organized in this simple 1-2-3 manner.
But it should take into account the above-mentioned ideas.
2.4 Quotable advice from people who read these things
