Yes, you are eligible to apply for several scholarships for Master's studies in France and Italy, given your strong academic background and completed degrees.

Your 7.0/10 graduation score and no backlogs make you a competitive candidate. However, scholarship competition is strong, and each program has specific eligibility criteria, such as age limits and nomination requirements.

- Scholarships in both countries may require you to meet language proficiency (like IELTS).
- Application deadlines, benefits, and rules are subject to change each year.

To improve your chances, prepare strong application materials and consider applying to multiple scholarships.
