Every eligible student who applies for an SAT discount voucher will get one. Students use these vouchers when they register for the SAT online.

Income-eligible students who live in India and get a total SAT score of 1300 or higher may qualify for a merit-cum-need scholarship at participating universities. Scholarship amounts are based on the student’s annual family income.
