Yes, you are eligible to apply for scholarships for your master's in the USA with your four-year bachelor's degree and no backlogs. Your chances depend on several factors:

- Academic performance: A strong undergraduate GPA (typically 3.0+/60 - 65% or higher) is important.
- Standardized test scores: GRE and English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS) scores, if required, can strengthen your application.
- Application materials: A well-written Statement of Purpose and strong Letters of Recommendation are crucial.
- Program fit: Aligning your research interests and profile with the scholarship criteria increases your chances.
- Extracurriculars: Leadership, volunteering, and other achievements can be beneficial.

Scholarship availability and criteria vary by university and program, and policies are subject to change.
