Although the GIAC site still hasn't updated, I just got the official welcome email. It includes info on "MBA Friday (Feb. 8th)," the Class of '15 Facebook page, the admitted student website, and another link to the online acceptance letter. Also, it says the admit package will be mailed shortly to my address.
I didn't see anywhere other than on the online acceptance letter page that scholarship info would be posted.

I also got an email. It also says that a gift is sent alongwith packet to celebrate my admission, Could it be scholarship? Where on the the admission acceptance page did you see scholarship info?
My email mentioned the gift, too, but my guess is that it's a hat, t-shirt, or something else (considering I was told I didn't get a scholarship). I didn't see the scholarship info on there, but I was making an educated guess. Scholarships were very rare in R1 last year, too. I went through last year's thread, and pulled out the scholarship excerpts:
"I got my scholarship e-mail at 5:30 CST. Titled "Some special news from McCombs!"
"I found out about the scholarship a couple days after acceptance and then I sent in my deposit. I learned about it from an email about 20 hours after my acceptance email. I came back to a message from 19 Dec saying congratulations and adding that I would be receiving more information about McCombs in a later email. They mentioned they don't give very many; the scholarships they offer range from $2k-$10k/year."
"Just got a scholarship email."
"I also got a scholarship email on Friday 2/24 ... out-of-state tuition waiver and some $$."
I stand corrected in terms of scholarship timing. The very bottom of the welcome email states, "If you were awarded an admissions scholarship, you will receive another email from me later. Please note that only those who received scholarships will be contacted."
