Many of the schools my kids applied to that offered merit scholarships required applications be in by the EA deadline - to be considered for merit money, so be sure to check scholarship deadlines for each school.

Also look to see if schools require separate applications for merit money. Some schools require a nomination form be completed (such as the Presidential scholarship at Villanova or some of the full-ride+ scholarships at Centre). Others have separate forms to apply for Honors programs, which may come with additional merit $$. Others have competitive scholarships that may require separate forms (Elon Fellows) or which may be by invitation only. Some don’t require anything beyond applying by a certain date.
