At Going Merry, we set a deadline for scholarship providers to update their applicants within four months of an application deadline. At this point, providers have to update your statuses to Successful or Not Selected. Until then, your status is set at Under Review. However, the majority of our scholarship providers inform applicants of the results within one to two months of the application deadline. We encourage them to let you know as soon as possible but cannot control their review process unfortunately.


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.
