I am applying at several schools to do an MSc in management next year. Among which Duke, ESADE and ESCP. Since the tuition fee is quite high for these schools and I am 23 year old student with no working experience and thus no means to pay for the programs at the moment I plan to apply for a scholarship.
But I was wondering how one should go at this?
I have an unconventional background (master in product development) with good results, a high GMAT (770), won two quite significant awards with my graduation project last year and speak 5 different languages. As such I consider myself quite competitive for a merit award but I don't really know how to try to convince the board of this.
Most scholarships ask for a letter explaining why you consider yourself to deserve it. I guess it is quite hard not to brag if they are asking you about your own merit.. Should you talk about financial need in this kind of letter? I have no means to pay the tuition fee at the moment since I just graduated but I guess 90% of students don't.
Any tips on writing this letter or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated

Some schools, like LSE, will actually disqualify you from admittance if you apply knowing you cannot afford the education. I would not mention that in the essay.
Since this is a merit award, meaning it has everything to with your academic record, that is what I think you should talk about. As long as you are not calling yourself the smartest person to have ever lived, bragging a little is not a bad thing in an essay like this.
