About this app

Going Merry is a free app that helps you get money to pay for college. We match you to scholarships, grants, and financial aid–all for free. Each year, we help students get about $500 million in free money.

Going Merry is already used by 2 million students and trusted by over 20,000 registered high school counselors.

What makes Going Merry different?

1. Personalized scholarship matching
Get applying faster. Less browsing and sifting through scholarships that aren’t applicable to you.

2. Easy, auto-filled scholarship applications
Apply directly to many of the listed scholarships, right from the Going Merry website or app. We’ll even pre-fill the application form with the information in your profile.

3. Bundled scholarships
We’ve combined scholarships with similar essay prompts, so you can apply to multiple scholarships with one form.

4. Your personas data is secure
We fully encrypt your data, and we never sell it to third parties.

5. Grants and financial aid too
Get matched to state grants you’re eligible for. Finally, compare your college financial aid offers using our analysis tool, to make the right financial choice.

But don’t take our word for it.

Students from 1 in 2 high schools in America already use Going Merry to help them win scholarship award money. Join them today!

Really like the app but it's not letting me actually go into the app at the moment. Everytime I log in a screen pops up that says "enter your student id..." I do just that, but then words pop up behind the screen that says "please enter university name.." I can't enter the app to do that! I've even entered it in on the computer to try and fix it and it's still not working.

There are a lot of scholarships available on this app. Be sure to check the due dates. Some of these scholarships have inaccurate dates, saying it's due in a few days, when in reality, it's due later, sometimes months later. One improvement would be to allow users to check off external applications they've applied to rather than having to hit the ignore button. Ignored scholarships don't go where completed applications go.

This is borderline a scam. Most scholarship links do not allow you to finish the application or you are redirected to other websites that ask you to create a different profile. The only thing that I have ever received or been awarded is advertisements for products and loan services. My email is absolutely bombarded with them now. Don't waste your time.
