Hello everyone.
I wanted to ask if it’s possible to be granted a scholarship with my high school grades only. I have been admitted to university but I have taken a gap year. So is there any possibility to get the scholarship only with (excellent) high school grades or should I wait a couple of years in order to have transcripts from university, too?
Thank you ^^
I don’t have firsthand knowledge, and I can’t guarantee anything, but this is something I found on the Ministry of Education website:
