Fees are established annually by the Managing Committee. All selected students must pay a non-refundable deposit (applied toward tuition) and a security deposit (refundable in part or in full when all financial obligations to ICCS and to local businesses have been met - up to six months after completion of the program). There is a non-refundable surcharge/fee for students accepted from non-member colleges and universities.

Scholarships are available through the Galassi-Beria Scholarship Fund to those students demonstrating financial need. In recent years no student has had to forego a semester at the Centro because of the cost. For more information, and an application, click on the Financial Aid link in the menu.

Students must arrange and pay for their own roundtrip transportation to Rome. Personal expenses can be expected to be higher in Rome than at a student's home college or university. This increase usually comes from individual travel, higher costs for laundry, weekend meals, and attendance at concerts, plays, and movies.

The following lists of fees and expenses should provide students with a realistic assessment of the cost involved in traveling to Rome and studying at ICCS. Required program costs are a total of both fixed fees and variable expenses. Tuition, Room, and Board fees for subsequent years are projected to rise between 5 and 10%. Variable Expenses are estimates. If you have any questions regarding ICCS fees and expenses, contact Duke University's Office of Study Abroad.

* The $3,200 non-refundable deposit, due at the time of acceptance, will be applied toward the tuition fee.

** The non-member fee, due at the time of acceptance, is non-refundable.

+ Depends on whether student has a passport, is securing a new passport, or is renewing an old passport.

++ Varies with East or West Coast departure.

A 150 euro security deposit will be collected in Rome, all or some of this amount will be refunded at the end of the semester.
