The general merit scholarships are awarded without application. The financial aid appears to be a blend of need + merit. Rose has a calculator on their site that provides an estimate of merit (and need-based) money you may receive:

If you play with the inputs a bit, you can see how the numbers change. As a single anecdote from last year, @locococomama posted a merit scholarship of $21,500, no submission of FAFSA.
Thanks bp90
sfSTEM, Thanks. We did not submit a FAFSA because we did not think we were eligible for need based funding.
Same here. Didnāt want to go through the data entry and process of FAFSA because we know we wonāt qualify for any need-based financial aid.
Anyone elseās kid get a āThank you for your test scoresā email from Rose-Hulman Admissions this morning? S22 was already accepted EA and hadnāt submitted anything new. May be a system glitch, or theyāre doing some work there that triggered that new response.
My son didnāt get that email 
Not here.
Thanks @Search2022 and @Luanne. System burp, thatās what Iāll call it. He had gotten the same email back in Oct and in Nov after sending his SAT scores.
Rose-Hulman admissions email today confirms date of financial aid notification: Friday Jan. 14.
Any idea what to expect from previous years? Ranges for scholarships?
Sure, take a look at my earlier post:
Try out the online calculator they provide.
Thanks. I forgot about that!
On the chat tonight, they said merit was $15,000 to $25,000. Notice will be out tomorrow afternoon.
When will the financial aid information be available today? Is there a certain hour?
Last night, they said late afternoon today.
Does anyone know how they notify? Will it be an email or just updated on the portal?
Son just received his notification, but there is no mention of any aid. Does that come later? We would only qualify for meritā¦
Email or portal?
He had an email that said he had a status update.
Maybe the portal has something?
