Funding Support for Students

Tuition is free for admitted students.

Accommodation is free for admitted students traveling from abroad.

Meals are partially covered.

Travel assistance will be provided on a case-by-case basis (preference will be given to students from Asia, Africa, and Latin America). Students from the Western Balkans may apply for a travel grant sponsored by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

Students from North America and Europe are strongly encouraged to seek travel funding from their home institutions or other sources.

Students requiring visas are encouraged to apply as early as possible.

We aim to admit a minimum of 25 students from around the world and to provide substantial funding to support their participation. Of these 25 students, 5 will come from Northwestern University (funded by the Buffett grant), and at least 5 will be from the Western Balkans (funded by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund).
