Actually, you get notification of the award from National Merit, even if it’s one of the Chicago-sponsored awards ($1K/year for students not receiving need-based aid and 2K for those who do) rather than the $2500 one-time award. Notifications for those National Merit awards comes later than the offers of merit scholarships (which I think come with the RD acceptance letters; EA applicants who get one of those awards receive notification about the time of the RD decisions and before the National Merit award).

Then, the actual money shows up as a credit on your quarterly bills.
