We cannot predict how long the evaluation will take. Based on the recommendation of the academic department, a letter of admission or denial will then be sent to you immediately from the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies. This is a good guideline as to the cost of a year's study along with living expenses. We recommend that international students bring all of the money that is available to them and deposit those funds in a bank here. They can then open a checking account and pay for their various expenses safely and conveniently.
Financial aid is awarded on a competitive basis by the individual academic departments.
You should contact the department you have selected for a financial aid application. Students rarely receive enough financial aid to cover all of their expenses, especially for the first year of study. We cannot evaluate your qualifications until we receive a complete application package. We will not estimate your chances of admission or receiving financial aid without a complete application package. Your completed application package will be forwarded to the academic department you have selected for evaluation.
