What kind of financial documents do I need to submit to complete my application? (For international students only)
In order to issue you the SEVIS Form I-20, we need an affidavit of support and confidential bank statement from each of your sponsors. The bank statement(s) must cover the estimated total cost of educational and living expenses for one calendar year. After you are admitted, the Favorable Admit Letter will be emailed to you. It will include information about the financial documents needed (Financial Affidavit of Support and the Bank Statement) and the estimated budget for the academic year.


What kind of information should the bank statement include? (For international students only)
The bank statement must be in English and it must specify the type of currency, such as "U.S." dollars or another currency. If you have a sponsor, the bank statement must show a balance of at least the total estimated budget for one year of your program. The "Favorable Admit Letter" that you will receive after you are admitted will provide information on your estimated budget for the first year. It will include such information as the cost of tuition, living expenses, and health insurance.

The bank statement must be on official bank letterhead, dated within the last year and be signed or stamped by a bank official. The name on the bank statement must be the same as the name listed on the Affidavit of Support Form.
We do not accept letters from chartered accountants, state-sponsored retirement accounts, salary statements, deeds to property, or other non-liquid assets.
