Occidental offers top applicants I think up to 17k. Here's a full list, including smaller ones:

More on Rochester: Rochester offers full tuition to 10 students a year out of 50 candidates it nominates to come interview. Some of the 50 receive 1/2 tuition (this isn't publicized, maybe they just started offering it this year.) Demonstrated interest w/ Rochester's pretty important; they're big on you fitting the school well and getting excited about it. Also the merit deadline is Dec 1.

Scripps- JES scholarship- 1/2 tuition to 40 students. One or two full rides plus airfare: "New Generation Scholarship." deadline Nov 1. http://www.scrippscol.edu/dept/admission/jess.html

That's another thing about merit-- you have to apply early for a lot of these so it's good to start looking before September.

(I just applied and got awards from the last two of these schools, so if anyone wants more info on the schools/going after merit, feel free to pm.)
