Before you count on it
Build your plan on funds you actually have, and treat a scholarship as a reduction if it arrives. Visa officers assess the money you can evidence today, not an award you have applied for.
Application windows are the usual months, not fixed dates, and rules change between rounds. Always confirm on the funder's own page before planning around one.
