The answer

If the granting body stipulates that the applicant must not have previously obtained a bachelor's degree, it is not permissible to conceal this from them; because it is forbidden deception and fraud. And the non-recognition of your degree in that country does not make concealment permissible. Rather, you must explain to them the reality of your studies and the non-recognition of your degree. If they grant you the scholarship after that, the matter is up to them.
