Financial Aid
International students are not eligible to apply for financial aid.  It is recommended they have a sponsor and be prepared to meet expenses for one full year of schooling before applying for admission. For more information on preparing for costs of attendance, visit NAFSA’s website.

Scholarships

Academic-based scholarships are awarded in the amounts of $2,500-$5,000 per year. Applicants are considered automatically upon acceptance to the University. A separate application is not required. Eligible students will be notified of any scholarship award shortly after receiving a decision letter.

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.  Health insurance will be charged if the student does not provide adequate insurance coverage.
