Is this correct to use "If so" in the following way?
I just want to make sure if I have completed the process of accepting the scholarship; If so, would you please provide me an official letter about it.

Yes, but you don't capitalize the first letter of the first word after a semicolon. You'd either write, "...scholarship; if so, would you..." or write, "...scholarship. If so, would you..." I'm not putting this as an answer because this question will likely get deleted soon. This is not a proofreading site, and there is an English Language Learner's site for asking questions like this (ell.stackexchange.com). You should direct future questions like this one there.

You have been offered a scholarship, and accepted it. If you are worried that your acceptance was not received, I would write: "Will you please confirm that I have a place on the XXX course as a result my scholarship award?"

"if I have completed" should be "that I have completed" or simply "I have completed"

the idiom and examples of usage may help: TFD
if so
if that is [the case]; if that is so.
'She might be late. If so, we will eat without her.' 'She is supposed to
be all right. If so, we have nothing to worry about.'
Your sentence without too much alteration wcould be:
" I just want to make sure I have completed the process of
accepting the scholarship; if so, would you please provide me an
official letter about it."
