The Full Evaluation feature allows your scholarship administrator the ability to set specific evaluation criteria and scoring ranges.
Providers can set evaluation criteria by following the steps below:
1. Login to your Going Merry Provider Account.
2. Click the Menu button in the top left corner.
3. Select the ✅ My Active Scholarships tab.
4. Click the More drop-down button on the far right side of a scholarship. Under the Edit section, select Set evaluation criteria.
5. Add, edit, or remove evaluation criteria.
To add new evaluation criteria, click + New Evaluation Category in the top right corner of the Assign Evaluation Categories page.
A pop-up box will appear that will allow you to set your evaluation category and minimum/maximum evaluation rating.
The evaluation rating must be on a scale between 0 and 10.
There are a few common categories you can choose from:
Academic Record;
Community Service;
Leadership;
Essay(s);
Recommendation Letter(s);
Video(s);
Financial Need.
If you have a category that doesn't fit one of these options, select Other and you'll be able to enter your own personalized category. Enter your Minimum Evaluation rating and Maximum Evaluation Rating then click ADD.
Continue to add your Categories by clicking the + New Evaluation Category button.
When you're done adding your categories, click Save.
Once you save at least one category, you cannot remove it.
Take note
Evaluation Categories cannot be edited once an Administrator or Reviewer begins to review applicants.
You can only edit the Evaluation Categories, Minimum, and Maximum Ratings if you have not begun evaluating applicants.
If you have not begun to review applicants, you can click the Edit button next to the criteria.
A pop-up box will appear that will allow you to make edits. Make sure to SAVE your changes.
Here's a walkthrough that shows you how to use the Quick and Full Evaluation features:
After evaluation criteria have been set, click on the green Evaluate button on the far right side of a student's row. If an administrator has set evaluation criteria, you'll be prompted to rate the student based on that rubric.
If full evaluation criteria have not been set, a message will appear under the Full Evaluation section that evaluation categories have not been set.
Assign your evaluation grades then hit Submit if your ratings are finalized.
❗️ Once you hit Submit, you can't change your ratings.
If you want to save your progress and modify it later, select Save Progress instead.
After you click Submit, the Full Evaluation Avg Rating column will display the average of all evaluators' total scores.
Once you (or other evaluators) submit their rating, the applicant will receive an email informing them their application is under review. The applicant will not receive any information about who is reviewing their application, what rating they were given, or what comments were made about their application. The notification is simply to give applicants an update about their application as they have worked hard to submit their application and are excited to hear the results.
To view who provided an evaluation rating, click the green drop-down arrow in the center of the student's row. The evaluator's name and email address will appear as well as the date and time they gave their rating.
Use the Filters button in the top left corner to filter by evaluation rating.
