How exactly are scholarship monies put towards tuition and can they be limited to certain careers even it is a major or minor?

I wanted to understand that once scholarship monies are granted, the discretion of spending is now at the students disposal. However a fellow classmate was unable to scholarship money towards their major in business. How can I avoid the same problem. #major #scholarship
