Watch the video above or read the instructions below to learn how to select scholarship winners:
1. Log in to your Provider Portal.
2. Click the Menu button in the top left corner.
3. Select the My Active Scholarships ✅ tab in the Menu to navigate to the Evaluate Applications page.
4. To select winners for a particular scholarship, click the green Evaluate button found on the far right side of the scholarship name.
5. Click the orange Select Recipients button in the top right-hand corner to begin selecting winners.
6. Select the winning applicant, or applicants, enter the Amount Awarded, then click the green Save button in the top right-hand corner.
You will be asked to confirm your selection:
Three months after the scholarship deadline, Going Merry will notify all winners and non-winners via email and will update their application statuses in their Going Merry profile to inform applicants if they won the scholarship or not. You are encouraged and welcome to directly email your winners before then.
Contact us if you want to request an extended time frame, more than three months, before an announcement email is sent to applicants about their status (if they won or not).
We will not immediately alert winners that they have been chosen.
We will only automatically send announcement emails (to all winners and non-winners) three months after the scholarship deadline.
You are welcome to contact the winner(s) before then.
After saving your choice, the applicant(s) selected as recipients (aka winners) will be highlighted in light yellow:
Reviewers are not able to select winners.
Only users with Administrator access can select winners in the Portal.
To update your Account Role, contact your program administrator.
