Scholarship for Environmental Economics Student Application Letter

I'm currently a student pursuing a Bachelor's of Science degree in Environmental Economics and I'm hoping to graduate in 2020. I come from a small town where the state of the environment is deteriorating daily, due to insufficient environmental awareness and inability to manage solid, liquid and gaseous wastes. These have resulted in an outbreak of water-borne diseases like cholera and respiratory illnesses, which affect a more significant number of people in the town. This experience made me interested in pursuing an environmental degree, in exploring matters to do with the environment and how to address environmental issues. I have been able to manage solid wastes within the college compound, and continuously written reports to guide the administration on how to handle liquid and gaseous wastes.
