Sponsorship
To obtain an I-20 application for the F-1 Student Visa, accepted students
must submit an
International Student Agreement form,
a
Statement of Support
form showing sponsor
support in the amount of $46,460 (for one year) and bank statements in the
sponsor's name. Bank statements must show funds that are
immediately liquidible and that are dated within the last 6 months.
Both the Statement of Support form and bank statements must
be notarized. A notary is
a public official who can attest to the
authenticity of legal documents and bear witness when the Statement of
Support form is signed. A solicitor or lawyer may perform
these duties, depending upon country and jurisdiction. Regardless of a
student’s residency status – with plans to live on or off campus – the
University requires a proof of funds in the amount of $46,460 for the I-20
application and F-1 Visa. This amount accounts for tuition, meals, housing
and the following expenses:
Estimated Summer Living Expenses – $3,270
Books, Insurance, Personal Items - $3,000
*2011-2012 Fees: Tuition, housing, meals, and student fees subject to
change.
Billing
Tuition bills are sent to deposited students in July for the Fall (August)
semester and December to deposited students for the spring (January)
semester. Students will only be charged for tuition, housing and meal
costs.
