ICAS 2025 Academic Enrichment
Grants for schools

Empowering schools to lead academic enrichment.

ICAS is proud to launch the ICAS Academic Enrichment Grants Program — a new initiative that aims to empower schools to create their own academic enrichment opportunities, ensuring that every student, regardless of background, has the chance to stretch themselves, grow, and succeed.

What is the ICAS Academic Enrichment Grant?

The ICAS Academic Enrichment Grant provides funding for schools to design and deliver original academic enrichment initiatives that extend student learning, encourage academic challenge, and nurture future scholars. Ten schools with the most compelling proposals will each receive a $3,000 grant.
