Hello,

Assuming that you are talking about scholarships for studying abroad, most colleges and universities do not provide scholarships until the applicant has been successfully enrolled in a program in the university.

Apart from this, university-independent scholarships and funds offered by the government or other organizations require the applicant to submit proof of admission to a recognised university before granting the scholarship. 

Therefore, for a scholarship from a college or university, you will have to first confirm enrolment before you can avail the scholarship benefits.
