You generally need at least 60 - 65% in your bachelor's degree to be eligible for most master's scholarships in the UK and New Zealand.

- UK: Many scholarships require a minimum of 60% (equivalent to a UK upper second-class, or 2:1 honours degree). Some competitive scholarships may ask for 70% or higher.
- New Zealand: A bachelor's degree with a B average (about 60 - 65%) is commonly required for master's program scholarships.

Requirements can vary by university and scholarship. Other factors like work experience or personal statements may also be considered.
