Decide Whether to Accept a Scholarship With Conditions
The scholarship covers your fees and comes with conditions you have not fully thought through. This evaluates the offer: what you get, what you give up, what alternative uses of the same time and money exist, and whether the terms fit where you are trying to go. Ends with the question you probably have not asked and a recommendation.
