## Financial Planning for Application

### Get an I-20

Before you come to BYU-Idaho as an F-1 international student, you'll need to get an I-20. You can obtain one from the International Services Office. An I-20 allows you to become eligible to apply for a student visa and come to the U.S. to study.

### Proof of Financial Support

U.S. immigration law requires you to include proof of financial support when applying to BYU-Idaho. You must show that you have enough funds to support yourself during your college experience. Proof can come from you or a sponsor.

### Cost of Attending BYU-Idaho

- $22,250 annual for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

The total amount you will need for all four years at BYU Idaho is:

- $89,000 for members of the Church
