Yes, fully funded scholarships usually have additional eligibility requirements beyond published papers, projects, or organizational work.

Common extra criteria include:
- Academic qualifications: A minimum degree level or class (such as a 2:1 in undergraduate studies) is often required.
- Work experience: Some scholarships expect at least 2 years of relevant work experience.
- English language proficiency: Proof through tests like IELTS is typically needed.
- Citizenship/residency: Many scholarships are only open to citizens of specific countries.
- Return to home country: Some require you to return home for a period after your studies.
- Financial need: Certain scholarships are for students who cannot afford to study abroad otherwise.
- References and personal statements: Strong recommendations and essays are often mandatory.

Requirements vary by scholarship and are subject to change.
