ICS's financial aid program is used to supplement a Junior Member's other financial resources. Financial aid awards are meant to be supplemented by other means such as loans and other funds, or, for a Canadian student, part-time employment.

Full-time Junior Members who wish to apply for financial aid should complete and submit a financial aid application when they submit their admission application (Part-time and Non-Degree Junior Members are not eligible for financial aid). An admission application must be fully completed before eligibility for aid is assessed.  

ICS Financial Aid Application Deadline: February 1 (Late submissions will not be considered)
