1. Email your scholarship winner to personally congratulate them!

2. Determine how you want to disburse scholarship funds, either directly mailing a check to the scholarship winner or directly mailing a check to their college financial aid office. If you decide to directly mail a check to the scholarship winner, make sure to ask for:

• The winner's address

• Thank you letter (optional)

3. If you decide to directly mail a check to the student's college financial aid office, make sure to ask the winner for:

• Specific instructions from the college on how to submit scholarship funds (this varies for each college)

• Their Student ID number (usually needs to be written on the check)

• Thank you letter (optional)

Please note that disbursing to their college financial aid office likely will displace any financial aid the student already receives.

4. Going Merry automatically notifies all non-winners via email 3 months after the deadline has passed so you don't need to!
