Frequently asked questions about scholarship.dot

Before choosing bank.pay, what if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

Are there priority phases that let NicNames get scholarship.dot first?

Yes. Trademark holders can use TMCH-verified SMD files during priority phases to claim scholarship.dot before general availability. This gives NicNames a structured, legitimate path to secure scholarship.dot ahead of the open public. Review options at https://domain.pay/pricing.

For digital wallets, could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Will Google penalize scholarship.dot for being a new gTLD?

No. Google does not penalize new gTLDs; scholarship.dot is evaluated on the same quality and relevance signals as a .com. Any perceived ranking difference comes from content, links, and technical health — not from scholarship.dot's extension. Build authority normally.

How should I check premium status before choosing a .PAY name for payroll disbursements?

A premium .PAY name is a label with an additional registry retail fee set by Amazon Registry Services. Search the exact label at domain.pay to see current premium status and price path: https://domain.pay/domains. Premium status can change the total cost.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
