WHY YOUR DONATION
MAKES A DIFFERENCE
More than 60% of our student body can attend ICI thanks to our scholarship fund. Help us provide more scholarships to more students.
ICI is a non-profit organization. Every year, we invite an outstanding faculty to teach in our programs. Donations are key in order to maintain this tradition of excellence.
As ICI expands, we need to increase the number of staff members to keep each program running as smoothly as possible. Donations towards operating costs allow us to grow our team and compensate them fairly.
