To manifest our beliefs, we have created a number of programs, which are made possible from the support of partners and families.
ISEE Fee Waiver Program
ISEE students with a fee waiver are given free access to our practice platform.
Test Practice Scholarships
Students in financial need can apply to our scholarship to get free access to our practice platform.
Regina Organization
In honor of our founder’s grandmother, who was a WWII Holocaust survivor and refugee, we created the Regina Organization, wherein students from banned countries get free access to our practice platform.
