How can I apply for scholarships given my lower academic scores in 10th and 12th grades for a Master's/Bachelor's?
Yes, you can apply for scholarships even if your 10th and 12th grades are lower, as most scholarship committees focus more on your most recent academic and professional achievements.
- Your bachelor's degree score (7.9/10 in Computer Science) and 4 years of work experience are strong assets for master's scholarships. - Many scholarships value recent academic performance, relevant work experience, leadership, and extracurricular involvement over earlier school grades. - A compelling personal statement and strong letters of recommendation can further strengthen your application.
Focus on highlighting your undergraduate performance, work experience, and personal achievements in your scholarship applications.
