Prestige Scholar Referral Partner Program

Prestige Scholar grows through trusted relationships. We reward partners, agents, and community members who connect students with our scholarship placement services.

This page explains exactly how our referral compensation works.

What Generates a Referral Fee

A referral fee is paid when:

• A referred student enrolls at a partner university through Prestige Scholar
• The student receives a scholarship
• Prestige Scholar collects the success fee

No scholarship means no success fee and no referral payout.

Total Fee Pool

Prestige Scholar charges students a success fee equal to

• 10 percent of the total four-year scholarship value

Example Scholarship

• Total four-year scholarship value 40,000
• Prestige Scholar success fee 10 percent equals 4,000

All referral payouts are paid from these 4,000 fees.

Standard Three Tier Referral Structure Example

For a 40,000 scholarship

• Direct referrer receives 3 percent of scholarship value
• 3 percent of 40,000 equals 1,200

• Second level referrer receives 1 percent
• 1 percent of 40,000 equals 400

• Third level referrer receives 0.5 percent
• 0.5 percent of 40,000 equals 200

Total referral payout at three levels

• 1,200 plus 400 plus 200 equals 1,800

Prestige Scholar retained portion

• 4,000 success fee minus 1,800 referral payout equals 2,200

Extended Referral Chains Beyond Three Levels

If a referral chain extends beyond three levels

• An additional 0.5 percent of scholarship value is allocated to levels beyond the third
• This 0.5 percent equals 200 on a 40,000 scholarship
• This amount is divided equally among all referrers beyond level three

Example with eight total referral levels

• Levels four through eight equal five participants
• 200 divided by five equals 40 each

Maximum Referral Payout Cap

Total referral payouts are capped at 5 percent of scholarship value

For a 40,000 scholarship

• Maximum total referral payout equals 2,000

This ensures program sustainability and transparency.

Payment Timing

Referral payouts are issued

• After the student accepts their scholarship
• After Prestige Scholar collects the success fee
• Payments are made electronically to registered partners
