Check out schools on the following list:

Note that the main criteria for many of them will be unweighted GPAs and standardized test scores.
Good extracurriculars won’t compensate for stats that don’t meet minimum requirements.
Note also that some public universities don’t offer financial aid to international students.

You might also want to check out Vanderbilt, Carnegie Mellon, or the University of Southern California. I believe these all offer EE majors and competitive (not automatic) merit scholarships. These are very selective long shots (especially for international + high need).

Other possibilities (a bit less selective, but with EE + merit scholarships) might include:
Boston University
Case Western
Illinois Institute of Technology
Tulane
University of Rochester
University of Miami

Depending on your situation, need-based aid may help you as much as a merit scholarship.
Schools that claim to meet 100% of demonstrated need (for US citizens, at least):

Of those with engineering programs, you might want to check out the following:
Harvey Mudd
Johns Hopkins
Rice
Tufts
Washington University in St; Louis
(again, these are all very selective … but if you’re an international who wants a large need-based grant from a school with engineering programs, that may be the kind of school you need to consider)
