It may be difficult to secure a merit-based scholarship in the UAE with a 12th-grade percentage of 58%, as most universities require higher academic marks - typically 80% or above.

However, some universities also consider work experience, extracurricular achievements, or offer need-based financial aid. With your significant work experience, you may still be eligible for partial scholarships or special consideration.

To explore your options, contact the admissions offices of the universities you're interested in and ask about need-based or holistic scholarship criteria.
