Other scholarship search engines, such as Scholarships.com, Scholly, and Unigo do basic matching.

Going Merry, on the other hand, matches you with scholarships and then lets you apply to them directly. Going Merry saves you time by auto-filling your information for each application.

The main advantages of using Going Merry are:

  • 💰 More local scholarships - Less competitive, easier to win.

  • 📝 Auto-filled forms - Never type the same thing twice.

  • ⭐️ Bundled scholarships - Apply for multiple scholarships, at once.

  • 💻📱 Multi-platform - Mobile app or Desktop, we've got you covered.

  • ⏳ Estimated application times - Every scholarship has an estimated application time to help you prioritize your time and effort.


If your financial aid offer wasn't enough to cover your bill, we recommend you submit an appeal. Learn more about financial aid appeals here.

If you'll need a student loan to cover the rest, begin by researching the lender that will give you the best rate. Most private lenders allow you to answer a few questions risk-free and then get your estimated interest rate. You’re under no obligation to actually get the loan. We recommend checking with Earnest first. Get your rate estimate from Earnest here.
