OP,
Some scholarships have no knowledge of your financial need. Go for those if you’re unsure of whether they’d hold a higher income against you.
And for sure go for at least a few of the ones at Vandy, UTD, Rice, USC, Auburn, Alabama, Pitt, and WUSTL. They don’t take income into consideration. Some are competitive; some are automatic. You’ll have to do some digging, but sounds like you’re motivated.
