FINANCIAL AND IMMIGRATION INFORMATION
International students who wish to study as an F-1 Student must submit the following additional documents in order to receive a Form I-20:
- A photocopy of their passport information page
- Evidence of funds to cover the first year’s tuition, fees, housing and living expenses (books, supplies, insurance, personal items) in the form of bank statements or a letter from the bank
- Affidavit of Support form (if the finances you will be using belong to a parent or other relative)
- A $500 non-refundable deposit. This deposit will be applied directly to your tuition upon enrollment.
Up-to-date tuition and fee information can be found on our website. All other living expenses (housing, books, supplies, insurance, personal items) are estimated at $17,000 per year. If the student will have a financial sponsor, the student's sponsor should complete the Affidavit of Support and submit it with an official bank statement.
If you have received a scholarship, you may use this to show part of your funding. To learn more about Roosevelt scholarship opportunities, please visit our scholarship page.
Students will not receive their I-20 until they have paid their $500 non-refundable deposit. Students should expect to receive their I-20 digitally within one week after they submit all required documents and pay their non-refundable deposit.
Do I have to submit my bank statements with my application?
We encourage you to submit all documents when you apply. However, we will review you application without your financial and immigration documents. These documents are required to issue your Form I-20 if you are admitted; they are not required to make an admission decision.
I'm not an F-1 student, do I need to submit financial and immigration documents?
All international students should show proof of their current status in the U.S. We use this information to show why you did not need F-1 student status. If you are in the U.S. in a different immigration status, you are not required to show funding. If you want to change your status, you must show funding.
