ICONIC Board recognition signals institutional excellence to students, regulators, and employers. Six tiers designed for every stage — from emerging programs to multi-campus institutions.
Free AI guidance · No commitment required
Founding Schools receive first-year recognition at $49 — a 90%+ discount from standard rates. More than a price: Founding status is permanent. Even after Year 1, your institution carries the "Founding School" designation and a distinct seal that no standard applicant can ever earn. Year 2+ renews at standard rates ($249–$499/yr). No surprises.
Not ready to commit to full recognition? Candidacy lets you begin the recognition journey at $249/year — and your payment functions as a deposit toward Standard recognition.
When you upgrade within 12 months, you pay only the $250 difference — no application fee, no overlap. Total first year via Candidacy: $499 (same as Standard direct, but without the $199 application fee).
All pricing published openly — no hidden fees, no surprise invoices. Founding member rates are locked for the first year.
