Create your account.

The first step is create an account on Going Merry. Click here to create your parent account. If you've already done that, sign in!

Complete your profile.

You'll then want to fill out your profile, as this is how you'll get matched to scholarships that you're eligible for. Try to fill it out as completely as possible – the more information you provide, the more awards you'll be matched to!

Find your scholarships.

Once you have filled in your profile information, Browse scholarships to view your child's matched scholarships. You can sort and filter scholarships to focus on the applications that take the least time to fill out, that are local to your school, or that could earn you the most money.

If you already know of a scholarship you want to apply to, use our search bar to find it.

Apply!

Click on any scholarship to view additional information about it, and then click "Start Application" when you're ready to begin applying!

Many scholarships on our platform have direct applications where you complete everything online. Other scholarships may redirect you to the original scholarship provider's website to complete their application separately.

Track Your Applications.

You can see the scholarship applications you've started and submitted on Going Merry and the scholarships you applied to externally on your Child's Scholarship Applications page. Make sure you're logged in, then:
