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.
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.
Schools that have at least one student scheduled to sit an ICAS 2026 assessment, either through PPS or direct order, are eligible to apply for an ICAS Academic Enrichment Grant.
Applications will be evaluated on how well they demonstrate:

A huge congratulations to the following schools for receiving an 2026 ICAS Academic Enrichment Grant:
We hope the ICAS competition is a valuable experience for your learners!
The Grant enabled us to select students who have shown outstanding effort and academic performance in specific subjects. They had the opportunity to participate in ICAS in their nominated subject, providing in-depth and meaningful feedback on their performance, and comparing them with other students across the state and the nation.

The ICAS Grant has allowed us to remove financial barriers and ensure more of our ākonga can engage in meaningful academic extension. It has been a powerful way to promote confidence, resilience, and high expectations across our kura.
