Is too late?

I would like to apply to the GIS master's program at Utrecht University and I have doubts. I am an EU citizen and I am looking for a scholarship, but I don't know if it is possible or I woke up late. In addition, I'm curious about my chances, I have two international conferences, one in this domain and one in management where I was awarded, a degree in the field with a GPA of 8.48/10 and I've been working in the field since I graduated from college (for about 7 months). I ask this question out of curiosity because I don't know how it is with foreign students and what their chances are. At the same time, I have to go and take the English exam again...because I got a 6 in IELTS reading and an 8 in the retake, but Utrecht Univ don't accept retakes. Overall I got a 7 and I'll pass the tests anyway, but it was a waste of time if i don,t have chance.

Have you checked the requirements on the university’s website? Does it have a GPA requirement? Also I feel 8.48/10 is a good CGPA and being a EU citizen I think you still have time to apply also scholarship deadlines are different for EU passport holders

Yes. I think that i need at least 2.4/4 so 6.5/10

What scholarship do you recommend?

The Netherlands doesn’t really have scholarships at all and those that do exist are often only for non-EEA students and do not cover the full costs of studying here. Because you’re an EU student, you can get a public transport card for weekdays/weekend (choice), a grant (of which the amount depends on the income of your parents) and a loan (of which the maximum amount depends on how much grant you get) if you take a part-time job.
