When sharing your acceptances, are you combining scholarship money?

Honestly, I think some people do it to compensate or explain why they chose a college over another that was higher ranked. Some top students in my class who went to their state schools would always mention the amount of scholarship money they got, presumably to distinguish themselves from more average students who were also accepted but got less. It’s also a way of saying “I’m going here partially cause they’re giving me money, not cause I didn’t get in anywhere better.”
