They were real scholarship awards that congratulated me and gave me a deadline to accept. Some were automatically awarded based on merit (I was notified of those when I got my acceptance letter, but they also sent letters to my school) and a few that I applied or interviewed for. I had actually called the financial aid office a couple times to check on the status, and they told me they couldn't release info over the phone and I would receive a letter if I was awarded anything. 
I even called the school after to explain and ask if anything could be done. It was a private university and they told me it was standard to send award letters to the high school as well so they could announce them at graduation or academic banquets. They had an explanation but not a good one for why nothing was mailed to my house as well. They did reoffer certain scholarships, but most were already granted to the next applicant and they understandbly couldn't rescind them. 
It wasn't entirely her fault since the university dropped the ball too, but it was still frustrating. It's no big loss since I was leaning towards the other school anyways and, looking back, I'd make the same choice.
I was a National Merit Scholar a long time ago and if I recall, I received a letter from the organization directly. They should go back to that.
Edit: I’m talking literally 40 years ago >

I was as well, about 10 years ago. They sent the letter to my school. The only reason I knew anything about it was because another student who had a teacher as a parent. After a while the teacher went to the counselor to ask about results and found out she had the letters, and only then did she hand them out. 
I also got several big scholarships from one of my top 2 universities, but they sent those offers directly to my school instead of me. When I went to pick up my diploma after graduation, she handed me a massive package with all their scholarship offers. She just stuck them in my file and said nothing to me about them. I figured that school hadn't given me any and opted for the other university. She told me she didn't like delivering mail to students all the time so she just held on to them until they came to her office to get them. This was a small school, so it wasn't like that was a time consuming job to begin with, and I didn't even know they had any mail for me to pick up. >

Scholarship are different matters. Most likely, what your conselor didn't give you in time is not "scholarship offer", but "offer to apply for scholarships". But if you applied for those scholarships already and they were real scholarship offers, that lazy counselor might have broke the law by withholding your mail.
