This depends on the scholarship provider.

It depends! There is no maximum set by Going Merry (we want you to win as many as you can!). However, some schools and scholarship providers cap the total scholarship amount at the total cost of your education. Check with the financial aid department of each school to which you are applying to be sure.


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.
