Documentation of Financial Support

Proof of financial documentation usually consists of:

• An original or certified true bank statement or scholarship letter.
• A letter from your sponsor indicating the amount he or she is willing to provide on your behalf. Organizations and/or companies providing scholarships or paid study leave for you should provide an award letter outling the details of the award in U.S. dollar amounts. Companies should provide a statement indicating that they have the amount currently available.
• All financial documents should be less than 6 months old.

Though we can review your application for admission without financial documentation, we will not be able to issue an I-20 or a DS-2019 before we have received verification that sufficient funds are available to support you while you are a student here at Indiana University South Bend.
