2. Alumni Requests
Alumni often need transcripts for employment, further education, or personal use—charge a small processing fee to support your school’s initiatives.

Offer official transcripts, diplomas, and academic records with a nominal surcharge to fund your district’s future while maintaining an efficient, student-friendly process.
“This year alone, we gave out $10,000 in scholarships to students through the money we’ve collected through Parchment. To be able to put those dollars back into the hands of students is incredible.”
— Dr. Diane Braungard-Galayda, Supervisor of Guidance, Edison High School
