Giving
Through the generous donations of faculty, alumni and friends of the ICSC, we have been able to offer the scholarships and awards described above. Unfortunately the financial needs of graduate students have outpaced our wherewithal (?) to support their pursuit of advanced study. Therefore, we continuously seek to grow the endowed accounts that support these scholarships and awards. We encourage interested parties to donate directly to our student scholarships. To make donations online or to learn more about how to give visit our giving page.
