Fellowships and discussing financial need

[kiki123]

I am currently applying for a fellowship to one of the schools I have been admitted into. As part of the application process, I have to write a statement about my experiences, my qualifications, and my financial need. I have written most of my statement, but I am having some difficulty in how to express my financial need. It will be difficult for me to attend graduate school without receiving financial support, but I am not sure how to express this appropriately. Does anyone have suggestions or insight on how to answer this question?
