MOTIVATION STATEMENT

Since I was in Senior High School, I have believed that mathematics is an

important factor in a life. All human activities in several fields such as information
technology, economics, physics, social and others will run well if they are cited in a good
mathematics framework. This circumstance stimulated me to attend faculty of
mathematics and natural science. I choose statistics as my specialization even though at
this time, there weren’t many people know about statistics and few students choose
statistics as their specialization. I saw in several developed countries such as The
Netherlands and Belgium, the mathematics degree-holders not only have many
opportunities but also were cited as important scholar in their societies.

As a student at XXXX Department faculty of XXX of XXX University, I had

numerous opportunities to do many activities. From XXX to XXX I had chances to
become a lecturer assistant in mathematics and statistics laboratory. My resposibilities are
taught and supervised students in the following subjects; Basic Programming,
Computational Statistics, Statistical Methods and XXX.

Besides studying, I was active in the student senate and became the head of
research and development division. In XXX I, in a team, became the third winner of
Indonesian student research competition. Overall I am pleased with my academic record
and I believe that it has prepared me very well for graduate school.

Presently, I work as a XXX for XXX. My responsibilities are teaching, conducting

research individually or in a team and etc (mention your responsibilities)…… Working as
a statistics lecturer needs deep knowledge of fundamental mathematics and experiences
in advanced research of applied statistics. Even though my undergraduate programme has
given me a strong background in the fundamentals of various mathematics especially
statistics, this is not enough for me to be a professional lecturer. I have to continue my study to enrich
my skills and broaden my knowledge.

Currently, our institution which one of the functions is to XXXX to the

government of Indonesia, has formulated its Long Term Plan known as the XXX PLAN,
which directed toward the establishment of the Integrated National XXX System. This
plan is including the development of statistics in various fields such as economy,
demography, agriculture, and health. It leads the need of statistician who expert in those
fields. Today, there is no Master of Science in XXX in our institution. These
circumstances persuade me to apply Master of Science in XXX under XXX Scholarship
programme.

Master of Science in XXX is needed in Indonesia because of the following reasons:

1. It will improve education in XXX and Indonesia in general, and strenghten the
establishment of the Integrated National System
2. I will fill the masters of XXX scarcity and strengthen the sustainable development
of Indonesia.
Considering all factors above. I believe that the chosen study will benefit Indonesia in
general

I consider myself to be a good candidate for XXX Scholarship because I am

young, energetic, hardworking, visionary, and motivated person who believes that I can
do something for the benefit of my country to whom I have been working. I did my best
with all maximum efforts I could give for my institution. But this is not enough. Frankly,
I am not satisfied yet with what I did. I believe that I can do much better if I am trained
and developed through a master of science in Belgium.
