If you say you don't deserve the scholarship to the person responsible for it, you sound like an ingrate. I'm glad you asked for help so you know not to do this...the ugliest thing I ever saw was a guy who beat out another (more deserving) guy in a competition only to say to him, "I don't deserve this, I played like crap," which, of course, made the other person feel as if they'd done really poorly, which they didn't. Always be a gracious winner.
