It's easy to assign discounts to students by adding & enabling a discount % or $ amount directly on the student record
One way of adding discounts to a student is by creating a discount program for their recurring bills. To see how that works, click HERE
A simpler way to do this is to define the discount on the student record itself which will automatically apply these discounts in different payment situations.

- Open the "Financials" submenu
- Expand the "General" section of your Financial Settings
- Toggle on the types of discounts you want automatically enabled

NOTE: You can enable different amounts for the different types of charges a family may incur. Types:
- Signups: This will apply to fees assessed through the FST/Sign up workflows
- Tuition: This will apply to recurring invoices billed through your programs
- Auxiliary: This will apply to any fees assessed through the time based billing blocks
CAUTION:
- Make sure you unenroll students from discount programs to prevent duplicate discounts
- If you use coupons for discounts on signups and you are enabling sign up discounts, make sure to disable those coupons to prevent duplicate discounts being used on a sign up form
- Discounts will only be applied to new invoices created after enabled on a student account. If you have any queued or unpaid invoices, you should make sure you manually apply those discounts to existing invoices.
