Here's what a motivation letter actually looks like
Not the generic AI-sounding template. A focused letter that admissions committees and hiring managers will actually read to the end.
Dear Admissions Committee,
I'm applying for the Erasmus+ exchange to Sciences Po Paris for the Fall 2026 semester. Studying European political economy at the school's center while my home university rebuilds its policy curriculum would meaningfully change the kind of work I can do after graduation.
Over the past two years at the University of Warsaw, I've focused on EU labor mobility — my thesis examines how Polish nurses navigated post-Brexit migration. The research framework I built relies heavily on French sources I've had to read in translation, which is itself a reason I want to spend a semester improving my French to academic working level.
Sciences Po is specifically attractive because of Professor Marchand's seminar on welfare-state convergence, which connects directly to my thesis. I've contacted Professor Marchand about sitting in, and she confirmed seats are available.
I'm financially prepared for the semester — continuing as a research assistant at our Center for European Policy, with parental support for the difference. The Erasmus stipend would close any remaining gap.
Thank you for considering my application.
Best,
Aleksandra
Not “I love your school.” A concrete reason this specific institution matters for this specific career arc.
Already contacted the professor. Removes the committee's “do they really know what they're getting into?” concern in one sentence.
Scholarship committees worry candidates won't actually attend. Naming the funding plan upfront removes that risk.
