It depends. With 60.5% in graduation and no backlogs, you may find it challenging to qualify for merit-based scholarships in Austria, Poland, Lithuania, and the Netherlands, as many require higher academic scores.

However, consider these alternatives:
- Need-based scholarships: Some universities offer scholarships based on financial need or overall application strength, not just marks.
- Country-specific programs: Certain scholarships target specific regions or backgrounds.
- Professional experience: Your 12 years of work experience can strengthen your application - highlight this in your personal statement and recommendations.

Scholarship criteria and availability are subject to change.
