To find and apply for scholarships, sign up for Going Merry, it’s free! Going Merry has thousands of national, regional, and local scholarships. There are also opportunities for every grade level, from freshmen to seniors.

To sign up, visit the Going Merry website. You can also download the Going Merry mobile app (and sign up that way) on iOS or Android.

Here are some reasons to use Going Merry above other scholarship sites:

• Scholarship bundles: You can apply for multiple scholarships using one application and the same essay prompt.

• Vetted scholarships: The Going Merry team periodically reviews every scholarship listing, to ensure the scholarship program is still active and the information is correct.

• Personal matching: Once signed up, you’ll answer a few questions to fill out a basic profile, and then get matched to scholarships that fit your background, academics, interests, etc.

• Clear organization: You can shortlist favorites and get deadline reminders about them. All drafts and applications are saved, and you’ll get updates on the scholarships you’ve applied to.

• Direct, auto-filled applications: You can apply for many scholarships directly on the site (with forms helpfully pre-filled).

• Financial aid applications: Seniors can also submit the FAFSA® through Going Merry, using their more user-friendly version of the government form, which they call “the FAFSA® Made Easier.”

Happy applying, and good luck winning, as these students did!
