If there’s a Common App to apply to multiple schools at once, why isn’t there a way to apply for multiple scholarships at once? That was my question as I started to search for scholarships for a second time, this time for graduate school. A quick look on the leading scholarship sites suggested there was $24 billion awarded every year. In fact, they even “matched” me with 53 scholarships offering more than $200,000. But all they did was list the scholarships. To actually apply, I had to click 53 links to be redirected to 53 different sites. It made no sense. Going Merry was created to fix this problem.
