Where do you check for it? I see a MyAwards link but the drop down in it goes only upto Summer of 2026 , not Fall 2026 onwards…so I’m assuming no . We were not expecting any but it is always welcome 
.
Scroll on the admissions page and it should be below the financial aid section if you received a scholarship.
