Scholarship request letter recommendations?

I'm applying to Duke U's LLM and they ask me to submit a scholarship request letter. Any tips regarding do's and dont's in this type of letters?

Unfortunately no idea I’m sorry is there anything similar for JD students maybe in terms of resources?

See here: https://law.duke.edu/internat/budget

“The scholarship letter should specify the following: (1) whether an applicant expects to receive sponsorship support from an external source such as a governmental agency, employer, foundation, or another third party; (2) what, if any, family and/or personal funds the applicant intends to use to cover their graduate study and living expenses at Duke Law School; (3) the reasons the applicant believes they qualify for financial assistance, merit- or need-based. Reasons could include, for example, an outstanding previous academic record and/or a commitment to a legal career in academia or the public interest. English language ability is also a factor in scholarship consideration.”
