Scholarship Bundles: Apply for multiple scholarships simultaneously, using just one scholarship app
Back when I was a student applying for scholarships using those dreaded scholarship search engines, I noticed that scholarship applications often asked for the same information (name, email, class year, SAT score, etc.)–and sometimes even had the same essay prompt! So I’d dutifully, and monotonously, type in my personal information over and over again, and copy and paste the exact same 500-word essay across application platforms.
Never again!
You might already know that, with Going Merry scholarships, you never have to fill out those scholarship application forms again. But did you know that, in some instances, we’ve even simplified that essay copy & pasting?
Introducing Scholarship Bundles: Easy scholarships to apply for
We’ve tied together several scholarships asking for the same information. For each Scholarship Bundle you just need to submit one (pre-filled) application form and one essay, to apply for multiple scholarships (up to 11!) simultaneously.
As per the screenshots above, the steps are:
- Navigate to Bundled Apps.
- Choose your Scholarship Bundle.
- Confirm (or edit) your details.
- Enter your essay – usually it needs to be between 500 and 1000 words.
- Upload documents, like your high school transcript – usually this is optional.
- Click submit.
- High-five yourself for applying for multiple scholarships at once!
Hot tip: You can also hover over the number of scholarships in the Scholarship Bundles header to see which ones are included.
