If you'd like to add that you completed the FAFSA® this year to your Going Merry profile, our self-reporting process is super simple.

1. Sign in to your Going Merry account.

2. Go to your Profile then go to the Education section.

3. Scroll down to the FAFSA® section, and hit the Edit icon to self-report.

4. When prompted if you've Completed FAFSA®, select "Yes" and then enter your FAFSA® SAI (Student Aid Index). Your SAI is required to use the self-reporting tool.

5. Scroll down to view the section where you must upload your proof of FAFSA® completion.

6. After uploading your Proof, click "Save". You're done!



What if I didn't submit the FAFSA® because I completed a waiver or state aid form?

If you'd like to report that you have a waiver or state aid form, follow the steps above, but select "No" under "Completed FAFSA?®".

If you completed an opt-out form or waiver, you'll then be able to select "Yes, I have a waiver" as shown here:

After clicking "Yes, I have a waiver", scroll down to view the section where you must upload your waiver or opt-out form.

Upload your waiver/opt-out form, then click "Save".

You're done!


If you completed a state aid form (like TASFA for Texas students or the CA Dream Act for California students), follow the steps above to get to the FAFSA® section of your profile.

Select "No" under "Completed FAFSA?®"

Select "No or Not Sure" under "Do you have a FAFSA® waiver (opt-out form)?"

Select "Yes" under the question that asks if you completed your state aid form.

Scroll down and Upload your Proof that you completed your form, then click Save.
