You’ve done some great work! Congratulations. From your opening sentence it appears that you realize how competitive merit aid is (at selective schools). I would say that the most interesting area of your resume and the part that differentiates you is clearly your electronics passion and expertise.

I would seek colleges that have scholarships with an emphasis on engineering, STEM, etc. Also, in addition to their general admissions scholarships, some universities have departmental money available for the right student (even first yr students) and other resources for upperclassmen. I would research schools with those types of opportunities. You will likely have to speak to the individual departments to find out about their situation. That will be as good opportunity for you to get to know them and vice versa.
