<p>I know Stanford said they only want national level updates. So if I received a national scholarship, is it ok just to email my adcom? Or do they only want competition updates and such?</p>
<p>If you’re getting aid, you’ll have to tell them at some point. And good news, if the scholarship is anything (more than $2000, assuming that’s your student contribution, again assuming that you’re getting aid in the first place) your amount of aid will decrease. Your parents get to pay the same amount! But seriously, if its anything short of Siemens it probably wouldn’t help you much to tell them. Then again, probably wouldn’t hurt either.</p>
