scholar

The word "scholar" can definitely refer to a learned person, but it's not the most common term for a student. Here are a couple of options that might be more fitting:

The aspiring young scholar poured over her textbooks late into the night. (This emphasizes her studious nature.)

He received a scholarship to attend college, becoming a dedicated student in pursuit of his degree. (This is a more general term for someone enrolled in a learning institution.)
