Add discounts and scholarships

A discount or concession lowers the fee a student has to pay. Use it when you give a scholarship, a special concession to a family, or a lower fee to brothers and sisters who study in your school.

Before you start

• Your fee heads and fee structure should already be set up. See Create fee heads and Build a fee structure.
• You need a role that can open Fees. If you cannot see it, ask your school admin.
• EduHost has no separate scholarship screen. Add a scholarship as a discount or concession.

Give a discount or concession

1. Go to Fees → Fee setup.
2. Open the part of the page for discounts and concessions.
3. Add a new discount.
4. Give it a clear name, for example "Merit scholarship" or "Staff child concession".
5. Enter how much the fee goes down.
6. Choose the student or students who get it.
7. Click Save.

Switch on the sibling discount

The sibling discount rule gives a lower fee when more than one child from the same family studies in your school. You can switch this rule on or off.

1. Go to Fees → Fee setup.
2. Find the sibling discount rule.
3. Switch the rule on.
4. Set how much discount brothers and sisters get.
5. Click Save.

To stop giving the sibling discount, switch the rule off and save.

Good to know

• Give each discount a name that explains why it is given. This helps when you check reports later.
• Check a student's bill under Fees → Bills to make sure the fee is correct.
• Parents see their bills and the amount due in the parent portal.
• To add a fine for late payment, see Charge a late fine.
