We are excited to be working with you again this year!

We've made a lot of improvements to our platform that will make your experience even better!

The Scholarship Wizard is a tool that's built into your Provider Portal. You will use the Scholarship Wizard to renew and submit your scholarship(s) to us.

Renew Your Scholarships

Here are the steps to follow to renew your scholarship(s):
​

1. Login to your Provider Portal.

This is the portal you use to access applications and invite other users to access applications.

2. Click the Menu button in the top left corner, then click πŸ“ Draft Scholarships which will take you to your Scholarship Wizard Dashboard.

3. Click the Renew Program tab.

4. Select the scholarship(s) from last year, click Next, and decide what information you want to copy over. If nothing is changing, click Copy over everything and click Next.

A draft of the scholarship(s) will appear in your In Drafts list.

5. Click the pencil icon on the far right of a draft to update the scholarship name, open date, and deadline.

You'll want to be sure to update the name of the scholarship because you copied everything over from another scholarship (including the name). Make any other adjustments to the scholarship's eligibility requirements, open/close date, logo, application questions, documents requested, or profile information requested then submit the application.

After you submit the scholarship(s), the Going Merry team will review the scholarship(s) to make sure nothing is seriously (or obviously) wrong before it opens to students. The scholarship(s) will then open on the date and time you indicated.

After you submit your scholarship(s), they will then appear on your βœ… My Active Scholarships page (click Menu then click βœ… My Active Scholarships).

If you want to renew scholarships from a different year, click the Copy 1 scholarship tab. Scholarships from prior years will appear here (the Renew Programs tab only lists scholarships from last year).

Add A New Scholarship

Use the Scholarship Wizard to create a new scholarship.

If your new scholarship is very similar to another one of your scholarships, you can copy another scholarship using the Copy 1 Scholarship or Renew Program tab (instead of building the scholarship from scratch).

Copy 1 scholarship will show you all prior year scholarships you listed on Going Merry.

Renew Program will only show you the scholarships you listed on Going Merry last year.

If you want to build a scholarship from scratch, click the Create New tab to enter all scholarship information.
