@cooldogcostumes,
LifterLMS MailChimp will automatically subscribe and (optionally group) students to different lists as you configure them during course enrollment and registration. It automates things and that will improve conversion
This plugin is free and should work but won’t do anything automatically from within LifterLMS: https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/
It’s a start though.
We offer scholarships too! Maybe consider applying for a discounted subscription via https://lifterlms.com/scholarship-request/
There may be other non-official solutions out there so I’ll leave this thread open in case anyone else has any ideas for you.
Take care,
