A good way to **track scholarship and discount requests** is to collect every request through a form with supporting documents, review it against clear criteria and send it for approval according to the discount value, recording each decision.

In **Jestor**, requests move through an approval flow with hierarchy and value limits, and approved discounts are linked to the student's tuition.

## Why do discount requests need a formal process?

Discounts are often granted informally, by different people, with different criteria. Over time, nobody knows how much revenue the school gives away.

Families also notice inconsistency, which creates frustration and more requests.

## What problems does a request process solve?

- Discounts granted without clear criteria
- No approval authority defined
- Missing documents for scholarship decisions
- Unknown total value of discounts given
- Discounts not applied to tuition correctly

## How does an approval workflow with value limits work for scholarships?

Small discounts can be approved by the coordinator, while larger scholarships go to the director. Each approval level is recorded on the request.

This keeps decisions fast for simple cases and controlled for high-value ones.

## How do I manage requests in Jestor?

1. **Create a request form** with student, type of request, percentage and documents.
2. **Review documents** and record the analysis on the card.
3. **Route for approval** by discount value, with Approve and Reject buttons.
4. **Apply approved discounts** to the student's installments.
5. **Track totals** of discounts granted by course and term.

| Discount level        | Approver           |
| --------------------- | ------------------ |
| Up to the first limit | Course coordinator |
| Above the first limit | Academic director  |
| Full scholarship      | Board or owner     |

- **Documents attached**: every decision has its evidence.

Clear criteria also reduce the number of requests. When families can read the rules before applying, they submit complete applications, and the school spends less time on requests that would never qualify.
