As someone who's working, I've been accepted into a part-time master's program at a prestigious university. However, my school scholarship application, offered on academic merit, was declined.
After careful consideration, I realize I'm only able to pay about half of the tuition fees. Which means I can't pursue this programme, unless I got some help from my employer or from the university.
Is it a good idea to write to some teacher in the department, to which I applied? Do you think they are in any capacity to help, or will they consider my letter unprofessional?
If you don't write (or do something): situation remains the same.
If you do write (or do something): situation can improve or in worst case scenario remains the same.
Your choice should be obvious. If someone receives your letter and finds it unprofessional the worst they can do is not help you.
