The number of Free Student tickets is calculated based on your school's Identified Student Percentage. To determine your number of Free Student tickets:

Find your school's Proxy Identified Student Percentage (ISP) in column 6.
Multiply your school’s Proxy ISP percentage by the total number of Students attending the concert.

50%. 100 students x 50% = 50 free student tickets and 50 paid student tickets.
