No. Write She will study hard so that she can get a scholarship.

I agree with GS that 'can' is also possible.

**Matthew Wai** · 13-Oct-2016, 19:40

I guess the OP wants to use 'could' to express future possibility.

Is there any point in guessing? Let's wait for the OP to tell us what they want if we haven't helped them with their problem.
