Important points
Scholarships vs. Awards
There are two types of awards, confusingly called scholarships and awards. The former is applied directly to tuition costs and so can only be awarded to returning students; the latter is a cash award to be used however the student desires. In my personal opinion, these should probably be called “scholarship awards” and “non-scholarship awards”, but the bizarre convention seems to be to simply call these “scholarships” and “awards.”

The monetary value of each awards tends to fluctuate yearly, and I'm also not sure that information is meant to be public, so it is not displayed here.
