We use the promotion code for both the scholarship and fundraiser purpose. Here is our process

Scholarships: Our students fill out a sholarship application; once we have approved their application, I create a promotional code for that person and they enter this code when completing their registration. (I usually use their last name as their promotional code.The codes are case sensitive.) You can set the promotional code to give them a set amount off or a percentage off. You can also set a date range aorund which the promotional code can be used and inactivate it if needed.

You cannot seet a limit  on how many people can use a promotional code, so any person who gets the code can use it.  We have not experienced any problems with people using a code that was not given to them.

You could use the promotional code the same way for the fundraiser issue. If students are getting varying amounts of money than a promotional code would need to be set up for each amount. If it is a set amount, just set up one promotional code and give it out to the appropriate people.

Here is a listing of the promotional codes that I used for a past event to give you an idea of what they look like.

(Keep in mind that if you clone a form for a future event the promotional codes carry over. If there is no end date then a registrant could enter their promotional code again and  get the discount that they received for the first event. This is why it is important to inactivate or use date ranges.)
