Chances of getting in when sent Davenport Scholarship to fill out

This is my DS 1st choice school and I feel it is a reach for him since he OOS. He recevied an email the other day about applying for Davenport Scholarship. Since this was sent does he have a better chance of being admitted or are all students who apply majoring in engineering get invited to apply for this scholarship?

Yes all students that applied for general engineering received this email. I also received this email.
