Mentioning Scholarship as an Award

Daughter is applying for a scholarship at school “X” that she’s already been accepted to.
In the scholarship application, it is asking her for awards she’s earned - would it be good or bad if she mentioned earning a scholarship from school “Y” (that she’s also been accepted to?

My son put that he was a Rensselaer Medalist on all of his applications. It conveys a very specific thing that most other schools know…top math/science student. I think there’s no downside to including it.

Sweet, thanks (and congrats). I’m just wondering if mentioning that she has another merit scholarship from a specific school would be good or bad.

If it’s a named scholarship that has some connotation attached to it, it’s a resume chit that I’d include. If it’s just a financial award, and I italicize that because it’s awesome and not worth of the word “just,” I’d leave it off.
