How to list UG Scholarship on Resume?

Hi all! As I'm working on my resume for applications, I was wondering if anyone had some advice about how to list my UG merit based scholarship. It has a specific name (Coronat Scholar) and with came with full tuition; only about 15 people per year receive it. I'm wondering if it would be better to just simply list "Coronat Scholar" or include some elaboration in a bullet point (like full tuition scholarship). Just not sure if thats considered tacky or if thats actually helpful information to an admissions officer. Thank you in advance!

    Elaborate in a bullet point under the "Education" or the "Honors" section.

    Ditto to the above. Never assume what the adcoms know, especially if it is a chance to display something as shiny as you describe.

    Pretty much how I have it in mine. I actually have a section under education for awards. I'm a bit of an overachiever. :blush:

    Hello! Sorry to tack on to this thread, but I also had a UG Merit Scholarship but it was just a half tuition (basically). Should I just put

    (My UG, not to be confused with US Presidential Scholar, I wish I was that cool...)
    UG Presidential Scholar - Merit scholarship for academic excellence

    ?

    Additionally, would I also put this in the "Awards" section that many of the applications have?

    Something like that (because there are many ways to write the same thing).

    Yes.
