Scholarships for your master's studies abroad are mainly awarded based on your bachelor's degree academic scores. This is the primary factor for most admission scholarships.

Some scholarships may also consider your overall profile, such as work experience or entrance test results. Performance during your master's course typically does not affect initial scholarship awards. However, some universities may offer additional merit-based scholarships or assistantships during your master's, based on your ongoing academic performance. These are separate from admission scholarships.
