ISM upholds very strict policies for the admissions process including dates for applications, tests and first payments. Due to the number of prospective candidates applying to each program, applications must be sent to ISM by the precise deadline. No extensions can be given without approval from the ISM Admissions Committee. Accepted students must confirm their payment option and pay their first tuition installment precisely on time in accordance to the deadlines stated in their letter of acceptance. Failing to respect the payment deadline will result in the automatic cancellation of the accepted student’s candidacy.
Students requesting financial aid must do so when submitting their complete application. The Admissions Committee can award a maximum financial assistance of 30% of the tuition fees; however, financial aid is very competitive and is awarded to only 10% of all matriculating students.
