Handling scholarship registrations
When a participant selects Scholarship as their payment method during registration, no payment is required at checkout, and the registration is completed immediately.
To record the scholarship amount afterward, go to Seasons > Chosen Season > Programs & Enrollments > hover over the program > View Enrollments > hover over the participant > Take a Payment.
On the payment page:
Enter the scholarship amount.
Select I have already received the payment.
From the payment method dropdown, choose Scholarships.
Click Continue.
A confirmation page will appear. If you need, you can send a confirmation email to the user. Once you confirm, the participant’s details will be updated.
This ensures the participant’s balance is accurately updated while reflecting that a scholarship covered the payment.
