I’m an engineering student, here’s my question: Is it permissible to apply for and accept a scholarship showing a fake income certificate?

I sit with my parents, my father says nasty things about others and I stop him to the best of my ability, it does stop then it starts again then I stop him then he started again then I stopped him, for the 3rd he did it again I stood up to leave then he promised to stop. Did I do the right thing?
