[Starting an application](https://help.goodstack.org/applying-for-an-education-discount?hsLang=en-us#starting-an-application) # I can't find my educational institution to start my application As part of Goodstack's verification requirements, we must be able to verify that your organization is an educational institution when applying for an education discount. Most educational institutions are already in our global database, and the first step of the application process is to search for the one you are associated with by the institution's legal name. **If your institution is a search result:**  If you found your organization in our search, we have already verified that it is an educational institution. When you submit an application on behalf of an institution that is already in our database, we will then only need to confirm whether it is eligible for the program you have applied for, based on the institution type and your role. **If your institution does not appear as a search result:** Click '**Can't find my educational institution**', then provide the requested details about the institution. Once the organization has been verified as an educational institution, we will confirm whether the institution is eligible for the program that you have applied for, which is based on the institution type and your role. ---   Regardless of whether an institution is already searchable in our database, we will also confirm that you are associated with the institution you are applying on behalf of. -
