Scholarships

A scholarship gives learners a discount — or free access — through an application process. Unlike a coupon code, a scholarship has learners apply, and you approve who gets it. Each scholarship is tied to a specific course, learning path, or cohort.

The two types

In both cases:

• 100% means free, immediate access.
• A partial percentage means the learner buys at a reduced price.

What you can attach

• An application form — questions the learner answers when applying.
• Revoke rules — conditions that automatically disqualify a learner later, such as failing a quiz or going inactive.
• Active dates — the window during which the scholarship accepts applications.

How it works, step by step

1. You create the scholarship in Admin → Scholarships → New Scholarship: pick the course/path/cohort, choose the type and percentage, optionally add a form and revoke rules, and set the active dates.
2. A learner applies — they browse the public scholarships and submit an application (filling in your form if you added one).
3. You review each application and either:
   • Approve it. For the "up to a limit" type, you set the exact percentage for that learner.
   • Reject it, with a reason the learner can see.
4. Later, you can revoke an approved scholarship — manually, or automatically through the revoke rules you set.

What the learner sees

• A list of public scholarships they can apply to.
• The result of their application — approved (with the discount applied) or rejected (with your reason).
• If approved at 100%, immediate free access. If approved partially, a reduced price at checkout.

Good to know

• Scholarships are reviewed and approved one application at a time, so you stay in control of who receives them.
• You can export scholarship data to a spreadsheet from the billing area.
