Private. Sent to Applystead only to write this; not stored.

How to use it

Describe your background. Write your studies, projects, work, volunteering, languages and anything else that relates to the program. Notes are fine; specific details give the letter real evidence.
Paste the program description. Copy the description of the program, fellowship, scholarship or role, including what participants do and who it looks for, so the letter can speak to it.
Add your goals. Say what you want to learn or achieve through the program and where you hope it leads. This part is optional, but it gives the letter its sense of purpose.
Review and adapt. Read the letter, make sure every reason is truly yours and adjust it to any length or format the program asks for before you submit it.

What the tool wrote

Dear Lakeside Health Collective team,

I am applying for the Community Health Fellowship because it offers the work I want to build my career around: health education and outreach in community settings. I studied public health at Westbrook University and graduated in 2025, and I am looking for a role where I can learn how community clinics reach the people they serve.

My thesis project gave me direct experience with questions of access to care. I surveyed 120 students about access to campus clinic services and wrote recommendations for longer evening hours. That project connects closely to the fellowship's focus on collecting feedback from patients, and I would bring the same approach of asking people about their needs and turning their answers into practical recommendations.

For 2 years, I was a peer health educator at the campus wellness center, where I ran workshops on sleep and stress. Planning and leading those workshops is the closest experience I have to running health education sessions at partner clinics, and I want to continue that work with a wider community. I also speak English and French, which your fellowship lists as a plus.

My goals for the fellowship are clear. First, I want to learn how community clinics plan outreach programs, from the first idea to the event itself. Second, I want to build experience in health education with adults, not only students, since my workshops so far have been for my fellow students. In the long term, I want to run outreach programs for a public health agency, and helping plan outreach events at Lakeside Health Collective would give me the practical grounding that goal needs.

I hope to contribute my workshop experience, my survey work and my French to your health education sessions and outreach events, while learning from your staff and partner clinics.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Amara Osei

Frequently asked questions

What is a motivation letter?

A motivation letter explains why you want to join a specific program, fellowship, scholarship, volunteer scheme or job, and why you are a good fit. Where a cover letter focuses on matching your experience to a job's requirements, a motivation letter puts more weight on your reasons for applying and your goals.

What should a motivation letter include?

State what you are applying for and why, give two or three examples from your background that show you are prepared, explain what you want to learn or achieve and how the program helps, and close with what you hope to contribute. Keep every reason specific to this program rather than one you could send anywhere.

How long should a motivation letter be?

Follow the length the program asks for, if it gives one. Otherwise, aim for one page. This tool writes 300 to 400 words, enough for your reasons, your evidence and your goals without repeating your CV.

Is this motivation letter generator free?

Yes. It is free and needs no account. Each letter uses one of the 5 free AI generations a day shared by Applystead's free writing tools, and the count starts again at midnight Pacific time. What you type is sent to Applystead only to write the letter and is not stored.

Will it invent reasons or achievements?

No. It uses only the background and goals you enter. The program description shapes what the letter emphasizes, but a requirement of the program is never written as something you have. If a reason for applying matters to you, add it to your goals so the letter can use it.
