Going Merry’s FAFSA Made Easy Application

Make sure you complete the FAFSA®, which is the application form you use to request financial aid from the government and from your future college.

You can fill out the form at the government website fafsa.gov, OR you can fill out an easier, more user-friendly version of the form on Going Merry. Both versions  are completely free, so we recommend using Going Merry.

How to Use the Going Merry FAFSA Made Easy application:

1.) Click on the Going Merry link above and login to your Going Merry Account (a free account has been created for you, please check your school email address for login information)

2.) Complete the “Onboarding” questions.

3.) Answer “Yes” to the FAFSA question.  After several questions, you’ll see a prompt about federal financial aid, then click on the green box “Yes, show me how.”
