How-To: Redeeming Vouchers & Scholarships

Savadub Institute partners with industry foundations, corporate sponsors, and engineering initiatives to award merit fellowships, diversity grants, and tuition discounts.

1. Where to Apply Your Voucher

1. Select your desired course or engineering track from the catalog and proceed to checkout.
2. On the Checkout & Order Summary screen (/checkout/{uid}), find the Promo Code / Voucher field on the right-hand side.
3. Enter your exact voucher code (codes are case-sensitive and must not contain extra spaces).
4. Click Apply.

2. Understanding Discount Types

The checkout system processes three types of promo codes:

3. Claiming a 100% Full Scholarship

If you have been awarded a 100% scholarship or full-ride fellowship grant:

1. When you enter the scholarship code and click Apply, your total balance drops to $0.00 / Free.
2. All payment gateways (Credit Card, Wire Transfer, Mobile Money) are automatically hidden.
3. You do not need to provide credit card numbers or financial details.
4. Click Complete Enrollment.
5. Your curriculum access is provisioned instantaneously. An official $0 receipt is delivered to your email and saved under your portal Billing History for verification.

[!TIP] Universal vs. Scoped Vouchers:

• Universal codes: Valid across every course and technical track in our academy.
• Scoped codes: Restricted to a specific track (e.g., AI Engineering) or a single course. If you receive an error stating "This voucher cannot be applied to this item", verify that you have selected the specific course or track specified in your fellowship award letter.

4. Troubleshooting Common Code Errors

• "Invalid or Expired Code": Check for typos, unwanted spaces, or verify whether the voucher's expiration date has passed.
• "Usage Limit Exceeded": Single-use grant codes can only be redeemed once. If you accidentally abandoned a previous checkout session, wait 15 minutes for the reserved cart lock to release, then retry.
• "Code Not Applicable": The voucher is scoped to a different course or track. Ensure you are enrolling in the program designated by your sponsor.
