Why are they offering scholarships for free and what's the source of the funding? For example, are you one of the only people getting it? Is it a scholarship fund? Is it more like a discount? etc ..

i'm in canada and it's funded by the government. I'll only have to pay $250 to secure my spot.

I would probably treat it as if you are paying for it and making the decision that way, if you would pay for it, then go and get it for free. If you would go if you are paying for it, and there is a reason other than you can't afford it, then I wouldn't go because that reason won't change whether you pay or not.
