The international applicant to universities in the United States must submit a certificate of finances with supporting evidence to the stateside school that they wish to attend. Many schools have their own forms; however, most schools will accept the form designed by College Board. Students must check with the school they are applying to learn what form is acceptable. The confidential financial information provided on these forms can be used to establish the student's need for scholarship monies, etc. A Certificate of Finances is required before a college can issue the I-20 that must be presented along with other documents to obtain a Student Visa.
