1. How Do I Apply for the SAT Fee Waiver Through Buddy4Study?
Once you have reviewed everything carefully, submit your application and make the payment only when the application specifically prompts you to do so. Do not make any payment before reaching that stage in the process.
If your annual parental income is less than ₹8,00,000, you may qualify for the 90% fee waiver. If your income falls between ₹8 lakh and ₹15 lakh, the 50% fee waiver option.

3. How Can I Check My Application Status?
If you need to contact the Buddy4Study support team for an update, make sure you have your application ID handy. This helps the team locate your record quickly and provide you with an accurate response.
4. Why Is My Application Showing as Pending?
A pending status generally means your application is still being reviewed. This can happen because your documents are awaiting verification, your payment confirmation is still being processed, or there is a required step in the application that has not yet been completed.
The best first step is to review your dashboard carefully. If the status has not changed for a while, reach out to Buddy4Study support with your application ID and ask for a specific update.
5. Can I Edit My Application After Submission?
Unfortunately, editing a submitted application is not guaranteed. If you notice an error or need to correct a detail after submitting, please do not submit a fresh application straight away.
6. I Entered the Wrong Email Address. How Do I Correct It?
This is something you will need to resolve directly with the Buddy4Study support team. Write to them from your currently registered email address and include three key things: your application ID, the incorrect email address you entered, and the correct email address you would like it changed to.
One important point: please do not create a new Buddy4Study account in an attempt to work around the issue. Doing so can cause complications with your application and voucher history down the line.
7. Can I Change My Registered Mobile Number?
Yes, you can request a change to your registered mobile number, but this needs to go through Buddy4Study support. Get in touch with the team and have your application ID along with your currently registered details ready. They will guide you through the account-change process from there.
8. I Forgot My Buddy4Study Login Password. What Should I Do?
The quickest solution is to use the password reset option available on the Buddy4Study login page. If you are unable to access the registered email address or phone number linked to your account, reach out to Buddy4Study support directly. They can assist you with recovering access through an appropriate verification method.
9. Why Am I Unable to Submit My Application?
There are a few common reasons why the submit option may not be working. Start by checking that you have filled in all mandatory fields in the form. Next, make sure all required documents have been uploaded successfully. You should also confirm that the Aadhaar OTP verification step has been completed, as this is a required part of the process.
If you have gone through all of the above and the issue persists, do not keep attempting to submit repeatedly. Instead, take a screenshot of the error, note down your application ID, and send both to the Buddy4Study support team so they can investigate and assist you.
10. My Application Form Is Showing an Error. How Do I Resolve It?
Start with the basics: reload the page once and see whether the error clears. Also check that you are using a compatible browser and look for any field-level validation messages, which sometimes appear as highlighted fields or on-screen warnings asking you to correct specific entries.
If reloading and addressing any visible field errors does not fix the problem, take a screenshot, note down your application ID, and identify exactly which step in the form the error is appearing at. Share all of this with Buddy4Study support and they will look into it for you.
11. Can I Submit Multiple Applications Using Different Accounts?
No. Buddy4Study’s system is built to track applications and voucher history by account. Creating multiple accounts or submitting duplicate applications can lead to complications, including your application being flagged as a duplicate and issues arising with your voucher history.
Use only one account and one application throughout. If you are facing a problem that makes you feel like starting again from scratch, contact support first. In most cases, they can resolve the issue without you needing to create an entirely new account.
12. I Accidentally Deleted My Old Account. Can I Create a New Account?
Please do not create a new account in this situation. Starting fresh with a new account will not reset your history. Any SAT voucher codes that were previously issued under your old account still count towards the programme’s lifetime limit, regardless of whether that account currently exists.
The right step is to contact Buddy4Study support and share the details of your previous account. The team can look into your history and guide you on the best way forward.
13. What Should I Do if My Application Is Marked as Disqualified?
If your application has been marked as disqualified, do not simply resubmit it and hope for a different result. Resubmission alone does not override the eligibility rules that led to the original decision.
Instead, contact Buddy4Study support with your application ID and the rejection reason shown on your dashboard. The team can review your case and let you know whether any further steps are available to you.
If you were found ineligible for the 90% fee waiver (which requires an annual parental income of less than ₹8,00,000), it is worth checking whether you qualify for the 50% fee waiver instead. This option is available for students whose annual parental income falls between ₹8 lakh and ₹15 lakh, and you can find it at https://www.buddy4study.com/collegeboard.
14. How Long Does Application Verification Take?
Once your payment has been confirmed and your documents have been verified, your voucher is typically processed within approximately 24 to 48 hours. If the expected window has passed and you have not received an update, check your application dashboard and contact the support team with your application ID for a status update.
15. Can I Apply Again Using the Same Mobile Number or Email Address?
Yes, and in fact, you should. You are expected to use the same registered Buddy4Study account (with the same mobile number or email address) whenever you engage with the programme. Please do not register a new account.
If you are seeing an error related to a duplicate registration or an existing account, contact Buddy4Study support and ask them to look into it. They can check your records and guide you through the correct steps without you needing to start over with a fresh registration.
