Lets talk Florida public schools…
By far, the best programs are at UF, UCF and USF. You can go to the ASEE website and look up each college engineering program. It’s the easiest way to see which majors are offered, etc.
The larger schools will have far more resources (faculty, facilities, design teams, etc.). UF does offer decent need based aid, while UCF and USF both offer generous merit based aid. For example, here is USF’s merit based scholarships and requirements (note that some scholarships do stack).

At $35 dollars an application, I would recommend you apply to UF, and to either USF or/and UCF as matches. Have your reaches, and safeties (FGCU), but you also want a few matches.
Maybe you’ll still select FGCU, but you’ll want to know if you can get accepted into the other schools, and if so, what financial aid package they may offer. Here’s the link to FGCU’s freshman scholarships:

Note that the “President’s Gold” scholarship is $5,000 per year up to four years and only requires a 3.9 weighted GPA and 1320 rSAT (Evidence Based Reading and Writing plus Math) or 28 ACT;
Make sure you apply early, when scholarship funds are still available to any of the Florida publics.
Good Luck!
