Can you explain the scholarship application process and eligibility criteria?
13 May 2026 · Answered by Swastika Ghosh · 1 min read
The scholarship process varies by university and country. Some scholarships are automatic, meaning you are automatically considered when you apply to the university. Others require a separate scholarship application, essays, or interviews.
Eligibility usually depends on factors such as:
• Academic performance (CGPA/percentage)
• Test scores
• Work experience
• Leadership activities or extracurriculars
• SOP quality
• Research profile (for research-based programs)
Most scholarships for master’s programs are partial tuition waivers rather than full funding. Strong overall profiles generally have better chances.
