I applied from oversees. Good CV and good grades at your undergrad are essential, however recommendation letters are not so important, you just nee to show you have somebody how can tell what kind of person are you and describe your skills. You need IELTS/TOEFL as well but the minimal score is really very very low. Be sure you apply very early as scholarships gone very fast and typically in December you will have no chances to be granted a scholarship.
