My parents are not very wealthy, which is why I am concerned about scholarship money.



This is exactly why you should complete the process. While none of the schools that offer large NM scholarships are on your current wish list, you should really look into them to try and find yourself a true safety school. Many of your top choice schools are reaches for everyone, so admission and affordability are always question marks.

Having a “Plan B” of a full-ride or near full-ride at some great schools can make the waiting for admissions decisions and FA/Scholarship offers much less stressful. Since your list has schools across the whole country, consider if schools like UKy, OU, Bama, UCF, etc. might be places where you could be happy if none of your top choices ends up being affordable for your family.
