Donations can only be deducted on your tax return for the year in which you made the donation. If you gave the money to the university in 2019 you will be able to deduct it on your 2019 tax return (that you will file in 2020). If you gave the money in 2018, you can only deduct it on your 2018 tax return. It doesn't matter when the scholarship starts or when the university starts using the money. What matters is when you made the donation.
