The answer

The student is not allowed to fraudulently obtain the scholarship if they do not meet the conditions for its entitlement. What was taken from the scholarship without meeting the condition is not rightfully the student's. The responsible authority must be informed; if they permit its use, there is no harm. Otherwise, it must be returned. If it is not possible to return it to the authority, it can be given for public Muslim interests, such as hospitals and roads, or to the poor and needy.
