I haven’t enrolled in any college yet but I’ve been admitted to some. some admit to major while some admit to the uni as a whole and some admit to a college in the uni but not a major. the scholarship app asked for all the colleges ive applied to and whether or not im likely going there. then it just asks “have you declared a major?” with a yes/no. what do i put? It doesn’t let you change it for each uni
I would say no. Just because you applied for a specific major doesn’t mean you have “declared” one. Some schools have you declare your major when you send in your deposit and enroll and some schools that admit by major generally have students submit paperwork making it official by the end of sophomore year. If you are still waiting to hear from some schools, they would also technically be a no since some schools will grant admission but not for the program you want, especially if it is super competitive.

Presuming you are a high school senior now, technically, you would only have declared a major if you decided to matriculate to a college that directly admitted you to a major (not undeclared or pre-major etc.). That does seem to be an odd question to ask, unless the scholarship allows current college students to apply as well.
If you are not sure how to answer the question, you may want to ask the scholarship organization directly.
