As an international student, you will need to complete a verification of finances to receive a visa to study here. This needs to verify that you have the full funds to pay for college for at least one full year…all costs including tuition, fees, room, board, books, travel and personal expenses…the full cost of attendance.

The on hand funds you have can include already awarded financial aid, and already approved loans, as well as money your family might have for college costs. It cannot include money you haven’t earned yet…or plan to earn.

So…you need to find a college that will either give you sufficient aid to attend, or you will need to have the balance at the ready and be able to prove so…to get your visa here.

If you are accepted to a college that meets full need for international students, and you have significant need, it’s possible that your costs will be covered. Most of these colleges are highly competitive for admissions and even more competitive for international students.

Do you have the GPA and SAT or ACT score to be a competitive applicant for the competitive schools that meet full need?
