If the money a student receives as a scholarship reaches the nisab amount, is it obligatory for them to pay zakat?

A person who owns, apart from their annual debts and basic needs, 80.18 grams or more of gold of 24 carats, or an equivalent amount of money or trade goods, becomes obliged to pay zakat when one year has passed since they acquired this wealth. The fact that the money subject to zakat comes from aid or scholarship funds does not change this ruling.
