Spanish term or phrase: candidatura
Buenos días,

Espero que puedan ayudarme con un término al inglés: “candidatura”, incluido en una carta de recomendación para solicitar al parecer una beca para realizar estudios de posgrado. Muchas gracias:

“Es un placer dirigirme a ustedes con el fin de recomendar la candidatura del profesor Juan D. a su programa de estudios de posgrado en los Esstados Unidos.”
