Self-Service Changes: Deadline, Award Amount, Number of Recipients
Once a scholarship is open to applicants, there are only three scholarship details you can change on your own:
Update the deadline (for example, to push it back)
Update the award amount (for example, because you got additional funding)
Update the number of recipients/winners
To do make these changes, login to your Provider Account.
Click the "Menu" button in the top left corner.
Click the "My Active Scholarships ✅" tab to navigate to the Evaluate Applications page.
Click the "More" dropdown button on the far right side of the scholarship you'd like to edit.
Under the "Edit" section, click "Edit scholarship".
Once on the Edit scholarship page, click the deadline or award prize type to edit those fields.
A pop-up box will appear that will allow you to make edits. Make your changes and be sure to hit Save.
Changes to Names or Descriptions
If you'd like to make other changes to information such as the:
Scholarship name
Scholarship description
Provider name
Provider description
Note that, in general, and as a policy rule, we do not permit edits. This is because we are a free service, and if we allowed edits all the time, we wouldn't be able to continue to offer this service for free. If there is an urgent change to these, please contact your account manager or support@goingmerry.com for help.
Changes to Eligibility Requirements or Application Form Questions
Once your scholarship is "live" (aka, open to applicants) and has begun receiving applications, we absolutely cannot make any changes to:
Eligibility requirements - Otherwise, this may disqualify applicants who already applied, which our system does not allow.
Application form questions - Again, this is because applicants have already applied to your original set of questions.
Therefore, we encourage you to double-check your Eligibility Requirements and Application Questions before submitting your scholarships.
