Instructions for Completing the Statement of Financial Support
Please read the following instructions carefully before completing and submitting the Statement of Financial Support to Wayne State University. Official sponsorship letters including details, terms and amounts of the award are to be attached to the Statement of Financial Support. This form must be completed and submitted along with an original bank statement or official letter of award from the sponsor as part of the admission process. Please note that photocopies of the documents are not acceptable. The United States Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services regulations require that all international applicants demonstrate their ability to meet educational and living expenses in order for the university to issue a Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20 or DS-2019). For this reason, this form must be completed and returned regardless of the source of funding. Please complete the appropriate category of page 2, section 3. Bank statement must be current; statements that are older than six months are not acceptable. If the applicant is married and plans to bring the spouse and dependent children to the United States, additional funds are required to cover the expenses of the spouse and children. The Wayne State University admissions office will not issue the Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20 or DS-2019) unless the applicant has: 1. Provided proof of acceptable English proficiency; 2. Provided proof of adequate financial resources; 3. Been admitted to a full time program. In addition, if admitted, the applicant will need to prove to the US consulate officer in the home country that there are sufficient funds to cover the first year of study. Therefore, we suggest that you request two original copies of all financial documents: one copy for you to keep and submit to the U.S. Consulate and the other to send to WSU with the original application for admission.
