Won Nice Scholarship.. Should I let the schools know?

<p>I have applied to UW- Madison and UofM-Twin Cities
Gpa: 3.3 (many extenuating circumstances, mother paralyzed in car accident freshman year and father had a heart attack my sophomore year)
AP: Apush and Ap Lit
Act:26
EC's: Every theater production, Hispanic Community Project officer, Gay-Straight Alliance, Vocal Jazz Group, State Solo Ensemble, Varsity Soccer</p>

<p>White, M</p>

<p>With all that in mind I have just been informed that I will be receiving the Kohl Initiative Scholarship worth 1000 dollars. Only 85 students in the state of Wisconsin receive this award. With my iffy GPA I'm trying as hard as possible to boost my chances.. Should I email the schools letting them know?</p>
