Yes, scholarships are available in both Canada and Ireland for master's courses, and your CGPA is a key factor. Work experience can strengthen your application, especially for certain awards, but is usually not the primary criterion.

- Canada: Many universities offer merit-based scholarships for international master's students, with strong academic records (high CGPA) required. Some awards also value relevant work experience.
- Ireland: Several universities provide merit-based scholarships, often covering a portion of tuition fees. High academic achievement is essential, and work experience may be considered for specific programs.

Scholarship amounts and criteria are subject to change. For personalized guidance on finding and applying to scholarships that match your profile, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
