Any way to reduce MDPI APC as a grad student from a developing country?

Hi everyone,

I'm a Master's student from Indonesia, and I'm about to submit my first paper to Administrative Sciences (MDPI). The APC is 1,600 CHF, which is way beyond my budget as a self-funded student.

I've already emailed the editorial office to request a waiver. Does anyone here have experience obtaining discounts or waivers from MDPI, particularly as a researcher from a lower-middle-income country?

If you have unused MDPI reviewer vouchers you don't plan to use, I'd really appreciate it if you could share them. Feel free to DM me.

Thanks in advance!
