Generally, funding sources will NOT let you write off a standard
educational discount as in-kind, however if it is a special EXTRA discount
for your instituion, they may allow it.   Best thing to do is ask the
funding source.

I have a researcher who wants to use documented educational discounts on
equipment purchases as in-kind cost sharing. We have not done this before
yet I can't think of a good reason why he couldn't do this. (This equipment
will be used in an engineering class.) Do other institutions use this as
cost sharing? If not, why not?

As always, thank you for your input.
