Yes, scholarships are available in both Ireland and New Zealand for students with a strong CGPA like yours. Most are merit-based and reward high academic achievement.

In Ireland:
- University of Galway and University College Dublin offer scholarships covering up to 50% or 100% of tuition fees for top-performing master's applicants.
- Eligibility usually requires a First Class Honours or equivalent in your undergraduate degree.

In New Zealand:
- Massey University offers an International Excellence Scholarship with a one-off tuition reduction of NZD 10,000 - 20,000 for strong academic profiles.
- Other universities, like Otago, also list external scholarships for international students.

Scholarship amounts, criteria, and deadlines are subject to change. For personalized advice and application support, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
