How to <apex:inputField> with a master-detail relationship?

Hi all. I am creating an <apex:form> with one of the fields being a master-detail relationship that looks up the parent in the UI field. When I add this to my form, it does not appear on the VF page - what am I missing here?

User-added imageCode: 
<apex:page standardController="Scholarship_Award__c">
    <h1>2020-2021 Academic Year</h1>
    <apex:form >
    <!-- Hi -->
    <apex:pageBlock title="Add Scholarship Awards">
        <apex:pageBlockSection columns="2">
            <apex:inputField value="{!Scholarship_Award__c.Name}"/>
            <apex:inputField value="{!Scholarship_Award__c.Year__c}"/>
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
        <apex:pageBlockButtons >
            <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"/>
        </apex:pageBlockButtons>
    </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Do you see any difference in the FLS set for these two fields in this Object?

No. I am the system admin and the objects are visible to me on the UI

Edit: I noticed that lookup relationships appear OK

Can you append a record Id that has a name field populated to the VF page and see if it displays any value?

Also, can you run the below query, please?
  
SELECT Id, Field, SObjectType, PermissionsRead, PermissionsEdit FROM fieldPermissions WHERE SObjectType = 'Scholarship_Award__c' AND parentId in ( SELECT id FROM permissionSet WHERE PermissionSet.Profile.Name = 'System Administrator')

Thanks. OK so when appending a record ID to the URL I do see the name appear in the Scholarship Name field... but I will need this field to be a lookup so that our users can enter a specific scholarship award depending on the record they are entering.

Edit: Found out I will need a custom controller for user input into master-detail relationships - will make a separate post on this.Thanks
