ICWA provides full financial support for its fellows and their immediate, accompanying families.
The institution gives them sufficient funding to cover their expenses, enabling them to fulfill the purposes of the fellowship and allowing them and their families (if accompanying the fellowship) to live in good health and reasonable comfort.
Fellows are expected to live and spend modestly.
