Authentication failure while following PHP tutorial

I am attempting to follow the PHP authentication tutorial provided in the developer docs to try and connect with the Developer Cohort and am recieving an error.

array(2) { ["error"]=> string(13) "access_denied" ["error_description"]=> string(41) "The specified credentials were not valid." }

I've checked and double checked my client_id, client_secret and subscription_key and there are no typos or extra characters.
I've added scopes to my application.

This is my first attempt at working with this API, so any insight would be appreciated.

    That example specifically targets a Raiser's Edge NXT (fundraising) Constituent. It looks like you may only have access to the Education System? Can you confirm which system you're trying to work with?

    I'm trying to work with the Education System. Is this a better tutorial to be using then?
