It depends. With a CGPA of 6.2, eligibility for merit-based scholarships covering 20-30% of tuition fees for master's programs in Ireland, the UK, and Poland is possible but can be challenging, as many scholarships require higher academic scores.

- Many UK scholarships require at least a 2:2 degree (typically 55 - 59% or CGPA 6.0 - 6.4), which you meet, but higher awards often need stronger academics. - In Ireland, top merit scholarships may require a higher CGPA, but some partial awards could be available depending on the university. - In Poland, merit-based scholarships are less common and eligibility varies by institution.

Highlighting your 13 years of work experience and other achievements can strengthen your application. For the most relevant options, discuss your profile with your LeapScholar counsellor.
