If the amount is privately shared with the recipient, I could see some value in that (appreciation, as you mention). However, please also consider the flipside: it may make some people feel guilty about accepting the money, or they may take it as a hint that they shouldn't accept the scholarship because it is so expensive. This would be a great pity. I'm not entirely sure whether the benefits would outweigh the risks - but it's a consideration worth making.
