Important Dates and Deadlines

April 15: Applications due
Due to the high volume of applications we will only respond to successful applications
Down payments ($500) are due within two weeks of being accepted to the program, and will reserve your spot.
Final payments are due no later than two weeks before your residency begins. It is important to pay all fees before your residency starts because it can be very difficult to transfer money internationally once you are in Iran.
Payment instructions will be sent to successful applicants. This website platform is American and doesn’t permit the sale of Iranian products/services, so there will be options to e-transfer or pay in cash (USD) upon arrival in Kerman.

These dates will be adhered to in order for residents to have ample time to arrange their travel and Visa details.

Residents will be chosen based on the strength of their work samples, their specific interest in Iranian culture, and their explanation for what they hope to learn or achieve during their stay with us.
