3. General Provisions
3.1 Encumbrances
If at any point of time, there are encumbrances by the applicable educational institution against the recipient (such as unpaid fees, etc.), LearnHub may withhold payment of the Scholarship until they are resolved.
3.2 Deferment of Scholarship
If a recipient’s appeal for deferment in joining is accepted by the applicable educational institution, LearnHub will continue the Scholarship after the recipient has joined the applicable educational institution.

LearnHub may revoke the Scholarship if a recipient chooses to transfer to another educational institution. In case of transfer to another course/program in the same educational institution, the recipient will still receive the Scholarship.
3.4 Discontinuation of Study

If the recipient later returns to the same educational institution, he/she will have to apply again to be eligible for the Scholarship.
3.5 Not Maintaining Enrolled Status
Recipients must maintain their “enrolled status” in their educational institution. Failing this Learnhub will terminate the Scholarship and cancel any/all due payments.
3.6 Unsatisfactory Academic Performance

3.12 Other Scholarships, etc.
The Scholarship does not disallow the recipient from applying to any other bursary or scholarship. However, laws governing financial aid or university/college regulation might create a situation wherein a recipient is not entitled to any other form of scholarship or bursary. LearnHub is not responsible for any such loss of opportunity. LearnHub reserves the right to revoke the scholarship offer if required to do so by applicable law.
3.13 Taxation of Scholarship Amount
Tax laws differ in different jurisdictions. Depending on the college/university’s location, and use of the Scholarship amount, the recipient may have to pay taxes on the Scholarship.
