To qualify for a student visa, applicants must provide complete and accurate documentation of sufficient funds to cover the cost of the first year of school, books and living expenses. Official bank statements, a signed letter of support or an affidavit of support (available from the USCIS), sponsor income verification, or other proof of liquid assets is required to document sufficient funds. The amount required to cover expenses for the first year is dependent
upon the program of study and listed in the I-20 documentation work sheet, which is part of the application packet for international students.
The following figures indicate estimated costs for the academic year (9 months) of a single student per program. These fees are subject to change without notice, and the student should be prepared for any adjustments in expenses.
