Going Merry is a free financial aid resource platform designed to make college advising easier. Students who use Going Merry receive an average financial aid award of $15,000 and partner schools average a 15% increase in their FAFSA completion rates. Going Merry gets students more engaged by providing a one-stop-shop experience where they can apply to the FAFSA in record time, engage with local scholarship programs on a digital platform (even from their phone!), find and apply to scholarships in the largest database of verified scholarships in the country, and dive into educational resources around college affordability - empowering students to self-advocate and make wise financial decisions. 

In this session, we will cover our simple, six-step process to help students find more financial aid, demonstrate our revolutionized FAFSA application, cover features and dashboards to make college advising more efficient, discuss how Going Merry can digitize local scholarship programs to increase student engagement, demonstrate why students are so engaged with the financial aid application process on our platform, and collaborate on how to help your students.
