Going Merry (www.goingmerry.com) is a marketplace for scholarships. We make it easy for students to apply for scholarships and simple for sponsors to create a scholarship and then find the perfect student for it. Improving the scholarship application process also allows us to build one of the most valuable financial services databases in the US, with numerous opportunities to monetize. We have a live beta operating in three high schools in the Bay Area.
