The answer

The ruling concerning the money given to a scholarship student differs based on two situations: The first is that he is given a lump sum that he owns, in which case he is permitted to dispose of the excess as he wishes. The second is that he is given a specific amount for a particular purpose without ownership; in this case, he must return the excess or inform the officials. If returning it is not possible, he is permitted to use it for matters related to the scholarship. What is forbidden is for him to take the excess for himself.
