Is it permissible for a female student on scholarship to mix with men without covering her face, and to enroll in an institute for learning English that has music and scantily dressed girls, with the intention of learning?

Unlawful mixing between men and women invites temptation (fitna) and causes corruption. If one is compelled to attend mixed-gender education, they must observe the Sharia guidelines. If this necessitates travel, it must be in the company of a husband or a mahram (unmarriageable kin). Covering the face is obligatory, and it is not permissible to uncover it for study except in cases of extreme necessity. It is not permissible to join an institute where there is music, except in cases of extreme necessity. The presence of scantily clad girls does not prevent joining the institute, while being careful not to be influenced by them and striving to influence them [for the better].
