Every student deserves the chance to reach their academic potential.

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.

What is the ICAS Student Scholarship Program?

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.

How the program benefits students

Removes financial barriers so that every child has a fair chance to compete

Opens doors to a globally recognised competition that boosts future opportunities

Celebrates and supports motivated students from all backgrounds

Supports learning and growth with resources that help students improve and excel

How the scholarship can be used

Each of the 200 scholarships are worth up to $100 AUD/NZD and will come as a single use voucher code that must be used in a single transaction to purchase:

  • ICAS 2025 assessments for subjects of your choice
  • ICAS past paper practice tools

What if you’ve already paid?
If you have already purchased ICAS 2025 Assessments or ICAS past papers, you will be eligible for a refund of the fees already paid (up to $100AUD/NZD), or a voucher for any remaining scholarship amount. 
Any unused voucher amount won’t carry over or be refunded.

Who is eligible?

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 2025 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.

How to apply

Applying is easy! A parent or guardian just needs to complete the short online application form on behalf of your child.

When completing the form, parents/guardians will be asked to answer one question: “Why is it important for your child to participate in ICAS 2025?”

You can include your child’s perspective too, sharing what ICAS means to them or how they feel about the opportunity. Your response could explain how participating will benefit your child’s learning or confidence, or describe any financial or other challenges your family faces that could make it hard to take part.

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.
