Going Merry matches students to scholarships they're eligible for based on the information in a student's profile. Make sure to fill out your profile as best as you can so that you're properly matched to scholarships!
How do I get started?
1. Build Your Profile
After signing up, you'll answer a few questions to fill out your basic profile.
2. Get Matched to Eligible Scholarships
Based on your answers, we'll match you to a list of scholarships you're eligible for. You can then further filter, save, or hide scholarships.
Edit the information, or add more info to your Profile.
3. Apply For Scholarships
You can apply for some scholarships directly from our platform. We even auto-fill your applications with your profile information.
Find Scholarships you're matched with (make sure you're logged into your Going Merry account before clicking this link).
Going Merry lists Direct Apply Scholarships and External Apply Scholarships.
What's the difference?
Direct Apply Scholarships: students stay on Going Merry and submit scholarship applications on the Going Merry site. Your profile information is auto-filled on Direct Apply applications. That means you don't have to retype the information that's already in your profile into these scholarship applications.
External Apply Scholarships: students are directed to an external website to complete and submit the scholarship application.
If your financial aid offer wasn't enough to cover your bill, we recommend you submit an appeal. Learn more about financial aid appeals here.
If you'll need a student loan to cover the rest, begin by researching the lender that will give you the best rate. Most private lenders allow you to answer a few questions risk-free and then get your estimated interest rate. You’re under no obligation to actually get the loan. We recommend checking with Earnest first. Get your rate estimate from Earnest here.
