Please learn the difference between Advice and Advise
This post reads like a humble brag. You have a target profile, and you know it. Apply to your dream schools at the MBA business schools">M7 and 2-3 between 8-15 to get some scholarship money to leverage.
Targeting schools for anticipated scholarships is silly. Apply and then see who gives you money. Your sample size will be too small from responses to get the real story and you don't know where you'll be surprised. Admissions is more of a crapshoot on this stuff than you realize.
You'll definitely get money at some but maybe not all schools. For you, I think the key is dropping a few extra apps at $250 a pop to maximize potential for getting a scholarship. It will pay off long run.
