Financial Aid

ICES encourages all interested and qualified students to apply for ICES economics workshops, regardless of financial considerations. ICES commitment at helping students is very strong, and it is ICES policy to financially support all qualified students. There is certainly no disadvantage in the admission process for financial aid candidates. The amount of financial aid granted to those who apply for financial support will depend of the qualifications of candidates. Those who want to apply should indicate so in the online application form. Additionally, financial aid applicants are required to write a 500 words essay on the topic “why do I deserve financial aid?” and submit it electronically with the rest of the online application form.

Online Application Process

You can use our Online Application Form to apply to any of our workshops. You will need to attach your Teacher Recommendation Letter, Transcript and (if applicable) your Financial Aid Essay to the registration form.
