If you'd like to add that you completed the FAFSA® this year to your Going Merry profile, our self-reporting process is super simple.

1. Sign in to your Going Merry account.

2. Go to your Profile then go to the Education section.

3. Scroll down to the FAFSA® section, and click on the Completed FAFSA®? question (you can also click the Edit button that appears).

4. When prompted if you've Completed FAFSA®, select "Yes" and then enter your FAFSA® SAI (Student Aid Index). Your SAI is required to use the self-reporting tool.

5. Scroll down to view the section where you must upload your proof of FAFSA® completion.

6. After uploading your Proof, click "Save". You're done!



What if I didn't submit the FAFSA® because I completed a waiver or state aid form?

If you'd like to report that you completed a waiver or state aid form, follow the steps above, but select "No" when answering the "Completed FAFSA?®" question.

Another question will appear asking if you have a FAFSA® waiver (opt-out form).

If you completed an opt-out form or waiver, you'll then be able to select "Yes, I have a waiver" as shown here:

After clicking "Yes, I have a waiver", scroll down to view the section where you must upload your waiver or opt-out form.

Upload your waiver/opt-out form, then click "Save".

You're done!


If you completed a state aid form (like TASFA for Texas students or the CA Dream Act for California students), follow the steps above to get to the FAFSA® section of your profile.

Select "No" in response to the "Completed FAFSA?®" question:

Select "No or Not Sure" in response to the "Do you have a FAFSA® waiver (opt-out form)?" question.

Select "Yes" under the question that asks if you completed your state aid form.

Scroll down and Upload your Proof that you completed your form, then click Save.
