There are sticky threads at the top of this fourm and the Parents forum that address Institutional (college based) merit aid. They’re long, but will give you a lot of information.

About your question about grades, EC’s, etc., yes all that plus test scores, essays and letters of rec will help you. The key to being in the running for full tuition and full ride scholarships is that you need to be at the tippy top of the applicant pool for the school that you are applying to. So, as a matter of definition, a scholarship school is not likely to be an academic reach, but rather a match or safety school.
