Eligibility criteria for scholarships vary by country and institution, but most require strong academic performance.

- Canada: Merit-based scholarships typically require at least 80% in your previous degree, with some top scholarships needing higher scores. - UK: For postgraduate scholarships, universities often look for academic excellence, sometimes equivalent to a first-class degree (usually 70%+ or strong CGPA). - UAE: Some scholarships are merit-based and may have specific academic requirements, often similar to UK standards. - Ireland: Government and university scholarships usually expect high academic achievement, often a first-class or upper second-class degree (60-70%+).

Your CGPA of 8.55/10 positions you well for most merit-based scholarships in these countries. Eligibility details can vary, so review individual university scholarship pages for exact requirements.
