If you have been offered a place at the school and we have not received your fee by this date, you risk losing your place at the school and it being offered to another applicant.
The total fee of the School is 1 450 EURO per participant for accommodation in a shared twin room, and 1 900 EURO per participant for accommodation in a single room.
The fee covers:

In some cases (eg. applications from developing countries), applicants may be considered for financial support towards the School fee.
Please note that any consideration of support depends on your specific circumstances, as well as how many requests we receive. Therefore we cannot - and will not - provide you an estimate before you have applied to attend the School.
If you wish to make a request for financial support, please submit your complete CSC 2023 application, and send an e-mail to Computing.School@cern.ch (before Tuesday 25 April) to make an official request, explaining why you wish to be considered for financial support.
Please note we are not able to consider an applicant's suitability or eligibility without a complete application, including the supporting Reference Letter from your professor or supervisor.
There are two ways to pay:
