I can tell you from experience that Interlochen will almost certainly not give you a price tag of $10K, even if they are highly recruiting you. You can always try, and you can appeal the decision on FA once, but their large endowment is not spent on FA alone. Go to gofundme and search “Interlochen”, there are endless pages of kids needing to fill the FA/need gap. There is a creative writing scholarship, but it is very competitive.
Why not apply to a regular boarding school? Your writing instruction may be just as good or better and FA can be plentiful. Check out all the schools on Gateway to Prep Schools. Good luck!
