Is two years of work experience required to be eligible for fully funded scholarships abroad for a Master's?
18 Jun 2026 · Answered by Tharun Kumar U · 1 min read
It depends. Some fully funded scholarships abroad, especially for master's or doctoral programs, may require 2 - 5 years of relevant work experience. However, many scholarships do not have any mandatory work experience requirement.
Always check the specific eligibility criteria for each scholarship, as requirements vary widely and may change. If you need help identifying scholarships that match your profile, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
