Discounts for full time students?

[sidhant]

Hi David,

Do you offer any discounts for full-time students? And are the videos going to be downloadable, or will they be only streamed?

thanks a lot !

Hi fOX_in_sOX,

"Do you offer any discounts for full-time students?"
We haven't historically/currently. Should we? This is maybe only the third or so time I've been asked. Does GARP? Do others providers? Please give feedback
Just note: we aren't priced with high margins in the first place, so go easy

"And are the videos going to be downloadable, or will they be only streamed?"
Yes, download plus ipod versions (like last year)

Thanks, David

Hullo David,

thanks for the quick response. GARP has a certain scholarship scheme for full time students, and thats like 2 per institution. I dont know how they chose when they receive multiple applications. I am from a very large university, and I personally know atleast one other person in my class who is taking the FRM this November.

I know your pricing is very competitive. But here in India, 20000 Rs is still expensive for students (I pay less than that for tuition for a full semester at college!). So you might give it a thought.

thanks

f0X_in_s0X,

We can add an option: -$100 for proof of full time student status (i.e., $299 for full time student).
I did not realize the implication of 20,000 rupees

Please give f/back if this is reasonable?

Thanks, David

Thank you very much David,

that sounds very reasonable. For proof, do I need to send you a scanned document from my college?

@ venkat: thanks, useful!

@f0X_in_s0X:
My developer is working on enabling the discount options, so we'll put instructions there. A scanned doc from college is fine; anything that "proves" or "demonstrates" student status works for us. And then sending that to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) (or to the attention of my assistant .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)) will be ideal. I will make sure this is articulated on the purchase screen. Thanks!
