exempt from taxation unless:

It is a condition of the scholarship that a recipient is
required to undertake activities that are of use, help or benefit to the
scholarship provider – then the student is rendering a service by agreeing
to undertake those activities;
An award is received by a student where the scholarship
is not provided principally for educational purposes.

During or upon completion of the degree for which the
scholarship is awarded a candidate is required to become, or shall
continue to be, an employee of the funding body; or

a tool to
help you determine if your scholarship is taxable. For expert advice
