 Student ID: ___________ CERTIFICATION OF FINANCES FOR ADMITTED INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE STUDENTS Submit the following form and your financial documents with your Student Information Sheet to complete your I-­‐20/DS-­‐2019 Request Packet. An I-­‐20 or DS-­‐2019 cannot be issued until UCSC has received evidence of the student’s financial ability to meet all expenses (educational costs and living expenses) during the course of study. Funds must come from a dependable source: scholarships, fellowships, sponsoring agencies, personal funds, or family funds. Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or similar are not acceptable. Note that F-­‐1 or J-­‐1 international students do not qualify for in-­‐state tuition. You will not be eligible to receive any federal financial aid from the University; do not plan to work in U.S. to meet your financial needs. You will also need to provide proof of funding to the U.S. consulate or embassy during the visa application process. SECTION A. PROOF OF FUNDING REQUIREMENTS. F-­‐1 students must be able to provide proof of financial support to meet educational and living expenses for the first academic year (9 months) OR for a calendar year (12 months) if the academic program begins in the summer. J-­‐1 students must be able to provide proof of financial support for the duration of the program (e.g. to cover 2 to 6 years of expenses). The available amount of funds will dictate the length of time given on the DS-­‐2019. The length of time will be based on quarters.
