ICEA Scholarship Process

ICEA Scholarships are awarded twice a year.
Scholarship Application and Award Schedule:
Submission #1: Deadline 30 April 2021; Awards Announced #1: 1 June 2021
Submission #2: Deadline 15 October 2021; Awards Announced #2: 1 November 2021
Scholarship applicants will be assessed using a rubric that has been approved by the ICEA Board.
The number of scholarships awarded each time will be based on funds available along with the number of completed applications.
Scholarship applicants must complete the entire application including references. Incomplete submissions will not be considered.
The current application forms are in English. Applications can be submitted in the applicant’s primary language, if not English, with the understanding that the ICEA Scholarship Committee may need to enlist outside services to help with the evaluation.
The scholarship committee has the authority to ask for clarification to any parts of the application.
The scholarship recipient will not receive a cash award. The awards are given as a waiver of fees for parts of the ICEA certification programs (enrollment, workshops, exams, conferences, and other fees).
The scholarships granted from ICEA do have monetary value but the recipient need not declare on tax US returns (as one might do with other income or “winning” money in a contest/lottery) since it will not be filed as such at ICEA. Essentially, no tax forms will be distributed.
An ICEA certified professional (or someone certifying) will only be considered eligible for a scholarship every two years. In other words, if someone is awarded a scholarship, they will need to wait two (2) years to apply for any new scholarship.
Once a scholarship is awarded, it cannot be revoked. That said, as an example, a scholarship award for one part of a certification does not preclude the applicant from paying for the remaining fees for that ICEA certification.
