Certificate of Financial Support Instructions
International applicants requiring visas to attend Truman State University must certify sufficient funds-exclusive of travel costs-to cover
tuition and fees, living expenses, and medical insurance for themselves and any dependents. Only applicants holding or intending to hold an
F-1 Student or J-1 Exchange Visitor visa must complete the Certificate of Financial Support form and submit required documents. A
Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20 or DS-2019) will not be issued until this information is provided. Please complete the form on the reverse
side and attach any required documents as described below. All bank statements must be current (issued within last six months). Award letters
and affidavits must be signed and dated. Give all amounts in U.S. dollars and have your sponsor complete and sign the sponsor section.
Incomplete forms will not be accepted.

Financial Information Instructions

1. Self Support: If you have personal savings and intend to use this money for all or part of your financial support, print the name of your bank
and indicate the amount of funds available for your first year of study. An official statement from your bank on their official stationery must
be enclosed. The statement should verify the amount of money (in U.S. dollars) you have on deposit at the bank, and the length of time this
account has been open.

2. Parents or Individual Sponsors: If your parents or other individuals are willing and able to sponsor all or part of your educational expenses,
you should print the name of their bank and indicate the amount of funds available to sponsor you during your first year. An official
statement from the sponsor’s bank on their official stationery must be enclosed that verifies the amount of money (in U.S. dollars) they have
on deposit at the bank and the length of time the account has been open.

3. Your government or another Sponsoring Agency: If you will be sponsored by your government, an international organization or foundation, or
another agency, you should print the name of the agency and indicate the amount of funds they will make available to you for your first year
of study. A signed copy of your award letter on the government’s or agency’s stationery detailing the terms and amount of your award must
be enclosed. This letter should provide the following information:

-Will the sponsoring agency pay your expenses for tuition and fees? If yes, should the agency be billed directly? To whom and what address?

-Will the sponsor provide you with living expenses? If yes, how much?

-For how long is the sponsorship available?

-Will the agency be willing to provide you with extra support should your spouse or children (if applicable) accompany you?
If yes, how much?

4. Other: If you have another source of support not included above, you should specify who is providing the support and indicate the amount of
funds they will make available to you for your first year of study. (For example, some applicants intend to stay with friends or family who
live close to Truman State University and, therefore, these friends or family contribute to the applicant’s support). If you have other such
sources of support, each sponsor must complete a separate Certificate of Financial Support.

Total: The combination of all bank statements, award letters, and affidavits must show a total amount equal to or greater than
Truman’s total fees for your first year, which can be found at https://international.truman.edu/new-students/requirements/bank-docs/.

Accompanied by spouse and/or dependents: If you wish to be accompanied by your family during your studies, you must
provide verification of additional funds before we can authorize any family member to accompany you. For each person
accompanying you, you must show evidence of an additional $6000 of financial resources for your first year. You will be
required to purchase health insurance for each dependent. Please indicate on a separate piece of paper the name(s),
birthdate(s), place(s) of birth, and relationship to you for each dependent.
