Going Merry is a game-changer. FAFSA and scholarships in one place. Our financial aid application rates have increased significantly.

My students loved Going Merry. They applied to 5x as many scholarships using it and were able to spend much more time on the important parts of applications rather than the admin.

I've been coordinating 35 local scholarships for 19 years, and this is the first time it's gone so smoothly. Having our local scholarships online has improved the application process for everybody. Thanks Going Merry!
