Funds are held in an Education Savings Account (ESA), and are used for tuition, fees, and other educational expenses. This fund can be used toward paying your tuition at ICON. 
For the 2024-25 school year, the amount was $7,826. The amount for 2025-26 has not yet been announced. 
The application window for the 2025-26 school year is open from 8:00 a.m. on April 16, 2025 through 11:59 p.m. June 30, 2025.
