Is it permissible to subscribe to a program that provides scholarships and other services to outstanding students in exchange for a one-time payment, with the aim of financially assisting students and alleviating their burdens?
If the amount paid for subscribing to the website represents fees for benefiting from the services and advantages provided by the website to students (such as searching for scholarships or tuition fee reductions), then there is no objection to it. This is not considered gambling; rather, it is a known commission for permissible and beneficial services. This is confirmed by the fact that registration is only available to outstanding students, and the amount is paid once at the beginning of the subscription and its value is not large.
