For California schools there’s also University of the Pacific, Chapman and Redlands - which all have conservatories and offer merit aid. USC merit money is almost all academic based, not music merit - and the OP’s stats are low for that. Thornton at USC gives quite small music merit awards. Arizona State would also be worth looking at - it has a good School of Music and is usually affordable for California residents.
