Applying for a bursary

Q: Will applying for a busary be regarded as a form of begging? I am unemployed but not disadvantaged or financially needy. The busary will be given based mainly on my academic performance. The busary may be paid back voluntarily - I will not be obligated in any way.

A: It is a form of begging in this case.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
