📊 Detailed data for school districts

• Real-time and summary stats, by school
• Student-specific start and completion rates for FAFSA® and scholarship applications

To get access to all our (100% free) FAFSA® Made Easier tools , all you need to do is (1) request access, and (2) complete a 30-minute introductory webinar/training. These requirements are intended to help you understand how our FAFSA® software works--and how it can help you dramatically increase your completion rates. 

We'll show the real-time progress of each student in your school or district.

We'll also show you your aggregate completion rate, at the school or district level.

For states where the FAFSA® is a graduation requirement, we support reporting on all completion methods: 

• FAFSA® completion
• FAFSA® waivers
• State forms for undocumented students

Students can upload documentation, which then can be reviewed and confirmed by school counselors or administrators.

“I saved so much time and was so much more effective. Because my Going Merry dashboard showed me who had completed or stalled in the FAFSA® process, I could provide targeted support. Our FAFSA completion rate is over 10% higher than last year."

"We have tried many things through the years to increase FAFSA® completion rates, but Going Merry surpasses them all. The help features have been essential resources for our students, as well as for counselors."

"The FAFSA® reporting means we can see each student’s progress. Our students love their scholarships section too. It means they have one place for all their financial aid.”

"FAFSA® Made Easier helped us double our completion rate this year, which has translated into a record number of graduates planning to attend college out of state. Students also taught themselves a great deal about how financial aid works as they followed Going Merry’s program."

"Using Going Merry's FAFSA® Tool has really changed the game for FAFSA® completions at our school."

"In a world full of unnecessary complications, Going Merry is a breath of fresh air."

To get access to these premium, free FAFSA® tools, you just need to fill out a 1-minute "request access" form and attend an introductory webinar.
