That is super hard. I don't think you have any good options here. I would not lie on my resume because they could ask for references and if you get caught lying the consequences could be worse than just not getting the money.
If I were you, I would just submit your resume as is and add a cover note explaining that you changed majors and that you plan to continue full time for next year. If asked about what you did for work this winter you can just explain that it was nothing relevant to your field.
Best of luck to you in this tough situation.![]()

Wow, that's rough.
I'd guess that they won't be asking for references though, I doubt they'd take the time to call and confirm every detail on your resume. Could you just put on there that you did internet marketing or something similar? There are tons of writing platforms which are used as either full time or part time income by a lot of people, and it wouldn't do them any good to ask for references for them either.




Don't lie
Use a bunch of flowery language that all the other kids use that implies you are living off of your family and friends.
Why not go with cocktail waitress or hostess or door girl at whatever your club's business name is? That's the closest thing to the truth that's still safe to disclose.

Never lie on your resume. If you don't lie on your resume, then the worst that could happen is that you don't get the scholarship award. However, if you do lie on your resume, then the worst that could happen is that you are forced to return any scholarship award (when your lie is discovered) plus you might get expelled from school for violating your school's code of conduct (I'm sure they have one) and have to explain such disciplinary action to future employers or grad schools.
