When sharing your acceptances, are you combining scholarship money?

Probably because a lot of schools use that amount in their notifications. When my daughter was awarded a scholarship from one college they were the ones who called it an $80K award. In this case since the total cost to attend this college is $42k per year, a $20K scholarship was pretty darn good. She got awards of $22K at a couple other schools, but because they were schools that cost over $50K, it wasn’t as exciting as the $20K award. However when she told people about it, she didn’t mention the amount - just the name of the award and that they were giving her direct admission to the nursing program.
