一、在什么情况下需要助学金申请自述
助学金申请自述并不是所有申请者都需要的。一般在以下两种情况下会需要助学金申请自述
1、有些学校在给予申请者admission之后，需要申请者提交助学金申请自述申请助学金。
2、在申请者拿到录取之后，虽然学校没有明文规定需要助学金申请自述，但是作为申请者可以写一份自述作为补充材料进行提交。
二、助学金申请自述的分类
助学金一般是两种：ta（teaching assistantship）和ra（research assistantship），也有学校提供给学生行政助学金。
那么助学金自述也分为三类：ta自述，ra自述和行政助学金自述。
三种自述因为需要从事的工作是不一样的，所以自述的侧重点也是不一样的。
三、助学金申请自述的写作技巧
我们在进行自述写作的时候，一定要紧扣工作内容，通过相关经历展示自己所具备的从事该份工作的实力和潜力。接下来将根据实例进行分类阐述：
（1）ta申请自述
ta是从事教学工作，或者作为教授的助手。所以在写自述的时候，必须表现出作为一名教师的实力和潜力。

2、sense of responsibility
when i taught chinese, i found although chinese is my mother language, there was a great difference to speak and to teach. in class, chinese is taught as a language course which requires specialty knowledge in this language. therefore i spent much time to learn chinese from aspect of linguistics and culture.
in ×××, i graduate from donghua university which is the best university in the field of garment and textile, however, garment design is not my major. in order to make accurate and professional translation，before every class, i will look through the prof’s teaching material and consult him the terms that i can not understand clearly. after class i will collect the students’ suggestions about that class to improve them in the next class.
3、multi-cultural perspectives
i taught the language according to the requirements specified in the textbook. at a later time, i recognized that my job also had to do with cultural exchange. so as to guarantee the validity of my teaching, i came to understand different cultural backgrounds of my students, taught chinese according to their ways of thinking, perspectives and meanwhile spread chinese customs and perspectives.
4、combination of theory and practice：
in ×××, as soon as the professor and i complete the class, sometimes i will supplement some knowledge in the real world for i worked in the garment company. i will tell them the application of these theories and marketing demands in the real world in order to help them understand the knowledge in depth and in reality.
in a word, i believe i will be an outstanding teaching assistant in your university and it is my honor to obtain this position.
(2) ra申请自述
ra主要是帮助教授做研究的，那么毫无疑问在自述中需要紧扣教授的研究项目，展现自己已经具备的做ra需要的技术上的实力和良好的个人素质。
