Which offer full rides?!
Several elite schools have need-aware merit-based full rides for kids who would otherwise be partial pay. Schools like Hopkins, Swarthmore, Wellesley, Wesleyan, USC, WUSL, Notre Dame.
Vanderbilt, Emory. Beyond top 25: Boston U, Boston College, UNC, UVA, UMD, etc.
At least some of these require that you submit your RD application by Nov 1 or Dec 1 to be considered for any merit scholarships
Boston College is November 1
USC is December 1
So there is no way to get into Princeton SCEA and then decide at that point to apply to these other schools to get a scholarship offer.
I don't know about the other schools on the above list.

Is there an easy way to know which schools have merit like this?

Depends on the kid. If they're sure that's where they want to attend and the finances work, then yes, you're done. If there is any possibility whatsoever that they might prefer another school come April, or that the cost might not be ideal, then no, you're not done.
