Scholarship eligibility for master's programs is usually based on your undergraduate degree. Most scholarships require you to have completed a bachelor’s degree before applying for a master’s, with your postgraduate qualifications considered only in specific cases - such as when you’re applying for a second master’s. Some scholarships restrict applicants who already have a master’s, while others may ask you to justify why you want to pursue another. Since you're currently pursuing a master’s in Business Administration, it’s important to carefully check each scholarship’s criteria, as requirements and restrictions vary.
