Additional Application Materials
Note: The following two documents will be required for your F-1 student visa process. You are welcome to submit them with your application, but they are not required for your application to be reviewed for admission.
- a financial/bank statement showing sufficient resources to support yourself for one academic year (the U.S. government requires, at a minimum, to show that you have funds for your first-year costs. Being able to show funds for more than one year is advisable and may increase your chances of a successful F-1 visa application)
