Yes, an 88% academic percentage is generally strong and can make you eligible for many scholarships, especially at the master’s level.

However, eligibility varies by university and program. Some scholarships may require a higher percentage or consider other factors like test scores, extracurriculars, or financial need.

To improve your chances, focus on other parts of your application as well, such as your statement of purpose and recommendation letters.
