FINANCIAL AID
International Community High School offers support for students interested in going to college or university. One of the most important aspects of this important decision is the cost of attending a post-secondary institution.
Due to this, students are introduced to different types of financial aid in their classes via CREW or through presentations throughout the school year in their core classes. For one-to-one support regarding specific financial aid methods, students are encouraged to speak to a member of the College Office at ICHS.
The following are resources that students can use to help them in their journey after high school. We are aware that career paths can be expensive, but there are many different ways to pay for college or university that can make the cost manageable.
