"merit scholarship" to VCU

This past weekend I received an email from VCU admissions informing me that I had been accepted to their university and awarded a “merit scholarship.” It did not specify the amount or conditions of this scholarship at all. I am currently waiting for the student information packet to come in the mail, which might disclose this information, but at the moment I am quite confused. When I looked at the merit scholarship information posted on VCU’s official site, it only listed their really big, $8k+ offers. Does anybody know if VCU also awards smaller merit scholarships as well (maybe around the $1k-$2.5K range)? This seems more likely to me than the university awarding me sizable merit aid without informing me of the actual amount.

Also, if it is relevant, I submitted my common app deadline before Nov 15 and plan to apply to their honors college.

All and any insight is appreciated! Thank you!
