I am sorry I could not comprehend the question. What I intended to
convey that perhaps the Marketing team could create a 10 USD
contribution aimed at students. The usual question that crops up is
"how do we know that they are students", I'd say that let's not care.
Having an easy way to let someone contribute a small amount to a
project they love should allow us to reach out to a larger base of
people via friends, neighbors, social network loyalty than worry about
validating a student identity.

The only question is whether 10 USD would be an amount that would
bring in a contribution after processing fees. I confess I am not sure
about an answer to that.

So you can give $1 right now. I would think something targeted at students would have some benefit for students or a discount.
