Hi H,
Deciding when to apply is really a personal decision. The quick answer is whenever you feel is the best time for you professionally, personally, financially, etc.

If you are applying for FULL TIME programs, I suggest you apply in the first round. In previous years, applying in R1 was seen to give a 'slight' advantage (as less candidates apply in R1).

Regarding scholarships - I recommend contacting your target schools to find out what is available for students.... particularly if you are an international student (as there are not many available, if any).

Regards,

N
