Quick thoughts, please: is it better (in a scholarship competition) if they know you have already won at other schools?

Due to varying deadlines, we know that dd has full scholarships already offered at 2 different schools, and has been invited to compete at 3 more schools.

 

Do we let the know this? Is it an 'honor' that should be mentioned?

I believe that it is, but this is not grounded in personal experience. I remember reading that once a student has won some scholarships, listing those on additional applications is beneficial, essentially showing that the student is worthy of scholarships.

I hope you're right, because we went ahead and listed them!
