ICSP is a scholarship program for international students. PSU students selected as ICSP participants receive a partial tuition scholarship equal to approximately half the non-resident tuition and fees charged during fall, winter, and spring terms. In return for this award, ICSP students complete 80 hours of cultural service per academic year. This service generally takes the form of giving cultural presentations to local schools and community groups. The scholarship funds are provided by Portland State University and distributed in the form of tuition remission scholarships applied to the student's university account; no funds change hands. ICSP members meet once a month each term, usually on a Friday evening from 5:30 to 7:00 pm. How many students receive the award? About 30 of PSU's 900 international students participate in the program each year.
