Without a simple and transparent process, financial aid applications add another barrier to education rather than removing one. This is the problem we're focused on solving at Going Merry in our op-ed for the @NewYorkTimesUSA
New York Times Opinion@nytopinion

The average high school student shares a college counselor with 430 other students. It's no surprise that 40 percent fail to complete a federal financial aid form, much less search for scholarships, writes Charlie Maynard. nyti.ms/2ZD4gKT

#TeamNavient was honored to host Congressman @BurgessOwens during his visit with our @MeetEarnest and @GoingMerryInc teams in Salt Lake City. It was a pleasure discussing how we connect students to scholarships and support their success.

We agree @HeidiRoizen :) We remember receiving Jacob's application with ideas on how to simplify financial aid and being like 'woah - we have to get this person'... And he's lived up to it every day with his work to help students across the US.

Jacob Choi wears many hats at Going Merry, trying to solve the huge challenge of matching students with financial aid. He's an inspiration -- and an alum of the Threshold Venture Fellows program. @thresholdvc link.medium.com/OjEByAnuGbb

@SendGrid @twilio - we are a pro client, which supposedly means we get ticket, chat & phone support. There's no phone # or chat on the site & nobody has responded to our ticket raised a month ago. Bugs happen but the lack of support is explicitly against what you promise.

This is what sea level rise looks like. Those who argue that a #GreenNewDeal is too ambitious don’t see that glacial melt isn’t waiting - in fact, it’s happening at a much faster rate than predicted. We don’t have time to argue. We need to act - on a massive scale. 🌎

This is a roaring glacial melt, under the bridge to Kangerlussiauq, Greenland where it's 22C today and Danish officials say 12 billions tons of ice melted in 24 hours, yesterday.

@melissakorn Hey Melissa, we surveyed 700 of our students and found 70%+ were not applying to certain colleges because of cost concerns. Colleges need to do way more to show they are open to ALL students

Harvard admissions officer Roger Banks referred at trial yesterday to affordability as "the silent killer in college recruitment" because families self-select out of applying over cost concerns.
