The IMW-NA also organizes Course Days (one-day programs) for current students to enable them to refresh their skills, as well as introductory "open door" presentations in various cities for potential students, to provide a taste of the MW program, exam and organization.
The IMW (NA) also supports the study of MW students through the disbursement of scholarships.
