You can major in statistics (or applied math if statistics is under that major) and use out of major schedule space to take geography and other courses of interest (perhaps also economics and finance, because many of the jobs that statistics majors go to on graduation are in finance and actuarial areas).
What is your price limit?
For merit scholarships, you have to aim for colleges where you would be at the high end of admitted students as the college views them. The most selective “prestigious” colleges offer need-based financial aid but not merit scholarships.
