What else can I do apart from CGPA to improve my chances for scholarships?

Focus on highlighting your 12 years of professional experience, leadership roles, and any significant projects or achievements. A strong, well-written Statement of Purpose (SOP) and impactful letters of recommendation from supervisors can make your application stand out.
Showcase any relevant certifications, courses, or community engagement that demonstrate your commitment to your field and personal growth. If standardized test scores like GRE or IELTS are required, scoring well can further strengthen your profile.
Emphasize these areas in your applications to boost your scholarship chances beyond your CGPA. For tailored guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
