回复：我觉得你要多写点你为什么QUALIFY/DESERVE这个AWARD，而不是一味强调

Chacha说的对,既然是award for exellent study, 第一要说你的qualification, 包括,你marks, your accomplishments, paper published if you have, teachers comments. 第二, supporting letters from your teacher, your department, your supervisor if you ahve. 3rd: what /how the award will help your future study. and all the other things that will support your application. Good luck!
