We are excited to be working with you again this year!

We've made a lot of improvements to our platform that will make your experience even better!

The newly released Scholarship Wizard is a tool that's built into your Provider Portal. You will use the Scholarship Wizard to renew and submit your scholarship(s) to us.

Here are some simple steps for you to follow to renew your scholarship:
​

This is the portal you use to access applications and invite other users to access applications.

Click the Menu button in the top left corner, then click 🎓Add New Scholarship which will take you to your Scholarship Wizard Dashboard.

Click the Renew Program tab.

Select the scholarship from last year, click Next, and decide what information you want to copy over. If nothing is changing, click Copy over everything and click Next.

A copy of last year's scholarship will appear in your In Drafts list.

Click the pencil icon on the right to update the name, open date, and deadline. You can update any other information on the scholarship listing page and application. Make as many edits as you'd like, then submit the scholarship to us. We'll take a look at the scholarship to make sure nothing is seriously wrong before it opens to students.

The scholarship will open on the date and time you indicated.

After you submit your scholarship, it will then appear on your ✅ My Active Scholarships page (click Menu then click ✅ My Active Scholarships).

If you want to renew a scholarship from a different year, click the Copy Template tab. Scholarships from prior years will appear here (Renew Programs only lists scholarships from last year).

Click the Menu button in the top left corner, then click 🎓Add New Scholarship which will take you to your Scholarship Wizard Dashboard.

Click the Renew Program tab.

Select the scholarships from last year that are renewing again this year. Click Next and decide what information you want to copy over. If nothing is changing, click Copy over everything and click Next.

A copy of last year's scholarships will appear in your In Drafts list.

Click the pencil icon on the right to update the scholarship names, open dates, and deadlines. You can update any other information on the scholarship listing pages and application forms. Make as many edits as you'd like, then submit the scholarships to us. We'll take a look at the scholarships to make sure nothing is seriously wrong before they open to students.

After you submit your scholarships, they will then appear on your ✅ My Active Scholarships page (click Menu then click ✅ My Active Scholarships).

The scholarships will open on the date and time you indicated.

If you want to renew a scholarship from a different year, click the Copy Template tab. Scholarships from prior years will appear here (Renew Programs only lists scholarships from last year).

If you'd like to create a new scholarship, use the Scholarship Wizard.

If your new scholarship is very similar to another one of your scholarships, you can copy another scholarship using the Copy Template or Renew Program tab (instead of building the scholarship from scratch).

Copy Template will show you all prior year scholarships you listed on Going Merry.

Renew Program will only show you the scholarships you listed on Going Merry last year.

You'll want to be sure to update the name of the scholarship because you copied everything over from another scholarship (including the name). Make any other adjustments to the scholarship's eligibility requirements, open/close date, logo, application questions, documents requested, or profile information requested then submit the application.

If you want to build a scholarship from scratch, click the "Create New" tab to enter all scholarship information.
