How do I configure Scholarships?

Scholarships are a way to apply funds to a Registration that are tracked via a Scholarship Fund (this is distinct from a discount which is ultimately a reduction in price.) Scholarships can be designed to be unrestricted or limited in the amount of money they allow per individual or the scholarship as a whole. Scholarships are applied by internal staff at their discretion. Scholarships may also be associated with a donation campaign; however, the amount donated to that campaign does NOT currently restrict or affect the scholarship settings in any way at this time.
