Concessions are discounts that are applied to individual students. For example, if a student has received a scholarship, bursary or a discount for being the second child in the family.
Note: We recommend that you enter concession information from Student Maintenance, as concessions are always linked to individual students. See Current Student Maintenance - Concessions tab in the Current students manual.
Concessions are active even if an auto tuition code is not selected. However, Synergetic calculates concessions that are a percentage of tuition fees as zero if an auto tuition flag is not selected. See Current Student Maintenance - Debtors tab in the Current students manual.
Concessions can be applied to any credit or charge for which a fee has been defined. See Maintaining debtor fees for more details on defining fees.
The concessions are automatically applied when you run the Automatic Tuition program. You can set up a concession to apply only over a date range if required. See Automatic Tuition.
