Should I put bursaries on application?

I've gotten several scholarships and bursaries. I'm going to put the scholarships on my application but what about the bursaries? The bursaries are based on financial need and some also have an academic component, but I doubt anyone without a financial need can be competitive for them. They also have "bursary" in the name. Should I put it on my application?

Certainly do not put the strictly financial need based ones.
The others... probably not. Unless they are extremely competitive.

Is there still a part of the application where you show how college was paid for on a % basis with merit aid, need based aid, loans, parents, self, etc.? If so, it goes there for sure.

You put the percentages, yes, but not the details.

OP, are you asking whether to put these as awards in the ECs section (don't), or whether to class them as merit vs need based aid (I'd say need)? Or something else entirely?
