We’re excited to launch the ICAS Student Scholarship Program — a new initiative that provides students with the financial support to participate in ICAS.
By removing financial barriers, this program aims to make ICAS accessible to more children than ever before.
Big dreams shouldn’t be held back by barriers. The ICAS Student Scholarship Program gives 200 students the chance to compete, grow and shine by covering up to $100 AUD/NZD in ICAS entry fees or practice tools. It’s about opening doors to what’s possible and unlocking potential.
Each of the 200 scholarships are worth up to $100 AUD/NZD and will come as a single use voucher code that can apply exclusively toward:
What if you’ve already paid?
If you have already purchased ICAS 2026 Assessments or ICAS past papers in 2026, you will need to complete a new purchase for all ICAS 2026 Assessments and/or past papers you wish to purchase for 2026 (including any already purchased before receiving the scholarship) using your voucher. You will then be eligible for a refund of your original purchase(s), subject to the terms & conditions.
The ICAS Student Scholarship program is open to school-aged students in Australia and New Zealand who are registered – or intend to register – for the ICAS 2026 academic competition.
Eligible students must participate through their school, a Cliftons ICAS testing centre in Australia or FOCUS Education in New Zealand. The program is not available for students participating via EQDemic or Eduvision in Australia.
One application per student. Applications must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian on behalf of the student.
2026 Terms and Conditions coming soon!
Applying is easy! A parent or legal guardian just needs to complete the official online application form on behalf of your child, which includes one key question: “What would participating in ICAS mean for your child, and how would this scholarship help make that possible?”
Consideration will be given to applications that clearly articulate the following criteria:
Keep your answer clear and concise – no more than 250 words.
This is your chance to share your child’s story and why this scholarship would make a real difference.
Applications for the 2025 ICAS Student Scholarship program have now closed. Check back in 2026 for new ICAS 2026 application dates.
