EVIDENCE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT

To obtain an I-20 form an F-1 the prospective student must submit evidence of financial support adequate to permit the student to study full time without working. Note: The estimated annual educational cost including both living and school expenses is $10,000 (USD).

1. If self-supporting.
   The student should submit an original letter from the student’s bank (personal saving or checking accounts ONLY) that indicates the current available balance in United States dollars.
2. If sponsored by a government agency or private company.
   The student should submit the scholarship or authorization letter from the sponsoring agency/company listing the amount of support, length of time authorized and any special condition of sponsorship. This must be on official letterhead paper from sponsoring agency.
3. If sponsored by family, relatives, or friends.
   The student should submit a notarized affidavit signed by person making the commitment to sponsor. The commitment should be in the form of original letter from the student’s bank (personal saving or checking accounts ONLY) that indicates the current available balance in United States dollars.

 The Affidavit must be accompanied by documents showing that the sponsor is financially capable of fulfilling the commitment. The documents most used as evidence of a sponsor’s financial resources are:

B. Statement of the sponsor’s employer on business stationery, showing:
    a. Date and nature of employment.
    b. Salary paid.
    c. Whether position is temporary or permanent.

C. If self-employed:
    a. Copy of last income tax return filed, or
    b. Report of commercial rating concern.

Note: Financial resources shown must be personal funds and readily available. Evidence of funds held in retirement or business accounts may not be used. Company funds may be shown only if the company itself is the actual sponsor. The financial documents must be no older than six months at the time the I-20 is signed.

POLICY ON WORK

International students are NOT allowed to work off-campus at their first year as student. Students requesting F-1 immigration status are required to show personal funds or sponsorship adequate to permit full-time study without working off-campus.

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

POLICY ON FAMILY

We are strong believers in keeping families intact so we will discourage married students being separated to study at America. Students are expected to bring their family to America and should adjust their overall school cost by adding $5,000 per spouse and $2,000 each a child. If one can’t afford to bring their family then they must agree to fly back to their family when spring semester end and come back at the beginning of fall semester.
