Academic goals in five lines

[Syntrope]

Dear Forum.

I am wondering what I should write for my academic goals for the scholarship application.
Besides saying something about my degree and wanting to graduate, what else can I include here that can be said in 500 characters (approx 5 lines)?

Thank you,

Arvind

Hi Syntrope,
Try to explain what you'd like to do with the degree you're getting, as specifically as possible. So if you're going to study Biology, don't just say "I'd like to study Biology" but write about how you'd like to study the ways that viruses attack cells so that you can someday join a research team that's working on finding cures to diseases like AIDS.
