The answer

If the granting institution has specified that the scholarship is for study only, then it is not permissible to fraudulently obtain it by feigning a desire to study while intending not to, as this is deceit, fraud, and a violation of the conditions. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Muslims are bound by their conditions." Furthermore, cunning and deception are among the grave sins.
