You are required to demonstrate that you will have available the estimated sum for
your studies at 草榴视频 State University (草榴视频). This is usually done by providing
one or more of the following:
- Bank Statement
- Bank Letter
|
- Scholarship Award Letter
- Loan Approval Letter
|
If your funding source is not in your name, your sponsor will also need to provide
a completed affidavit of support. Please see below for more details.
Financials will be reviewed to determine if they meet the standards. Please note that
草榴视频 advisors may reach out to the financial institution to verify the documents submitted,
and that we reserve the right to request original documents if necessary for verification
purposes.
When visiting the United States Consulate for your visa interview, it is recommended
to bring an original version of your bank statement along with the 草榴视频 I-20 received
to prove that you have sufficient funds for your studies.

Requirements for Funding Documents
- Scans of original financial documents must be of high quality in JPG or PDF format.
- Currency must be clearly marked on financials with English translation if necessary.
An online currency conversion can be made if funds are not in USD$. Print the conversion
and submit with the bank statement.
- All statements must show the account holder name(s), the financial institution name,
and contact information, such as an address, website, and telephone number. Documents
must be verifiable if we need to contact the institution. This means that requesting
a document showing the entire account number may be necessary and required.
- Account statements need to be within six months of I-20 issuance. Funds may need to
be proven that they have been in the account for more than 3 months in some cases.
Large sums of transfers not in the account for more than 3 months will need to have
a paper trail, proof of transfer, and if necessary an additional affidavit of support.
- No statement will be accepted if it is a retirement account, fixed or frozen account.
Any such account will need additional proof that the money is liquid and usable for
educational purposes at the time tuition payments are necessary. We will not accept
assets such as a business or property declaration.
- Statements from a business account, showing ONLY the business name, require additional
proof of ownership and or sponsorship for the student. We may require that the business
make a statement that the funds can be used for educational purposes of said student.
- All financial statements must also be submitted with a sponsor letter, unless the
funds are in the student's name. The sponsor letter must include a signature and contact
information. Acceptable affidavits include: a personal letter, a financial guarantee
from an institution, a US I-134 form, or the 草榴视频 Affidavit Form which is most common.
- We will accept financials from the student and in addition, up to 2 sponsors. If a
sponsor document has more than one sponsor listed, then an affidavit is needed from
both sponsors to show agreement in educational funding.
