My sense is that they won’t include financial aid with the admission packets any time soon - they seem to want to guard closely the secret of who has and has not been admitted, so currently even financial aid doesn’t know who has been admitted until the packets are sent/decisions posted. To have the financial aid info included in the packets would necessitate letting financial aid know at least 10 days to 2 weeks in advance of the mailing/posting and that would make it even harder to guard the info (this year clever applicants tiptoed in and got clues on the FA page a day early, so my guess it that avenue will be closed off even more tightly next year rather than being sent early).

As for merit aid, I have seen additional University Scholarships added even as late as the third week of April (some - but not all - of those accepted to TO may get some additional good news, for example).
