Is a very good GMAT or GRE score necessary to be considered for scholarships in UK/France for a Master's?
24 Aug 2026 · Answered by Honnappa Chandrannavar · 1 min read
It depends. A strong GMAT or GRE score can significantly improve your chances for merit-based scholarships, especially for Master's programs in the UK, France, and the Netherlands. While not always mandatory, many universities use these scores as a key criterion for scholarship selection.
Universities also assess your academic performance, work experience, and personal statements. A high test score helps, but a well-rounded application is equally important.
If you want to maximize your scholarship opportunities, aim for a competitive GMAT or GRE score and ensure your overall profile is strong.
