A training, event or programme here can have a fee, and it says so on the page with a named organisation behind it. Being asked for money in private is different: no fee to process, secure or release anything, and nothing paid to a person instead of an organisation. That is a scam - report it.

If English language proof is required, check the university admissions page rather than the scholarship page. Many accept a Medium of Instruction letter from your school if your degree was taught in English, and it is almost never mentioned where you would look for it.
