That's not a bad shout at all. I guess we should find out - my worry about scholarship :) would be that you're not allowed to expect the scholar to do anything other than their study, otherwise it's more or less another form of employment, but I have _no_ idea. I would always be wary of schemes which could be construed as attempting to get around employment rights / taxes, but there must be some way we can do this.
