Applicants must have completed an academic program equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree prior to enrolling. Students may apply during their final year of such a degree program but must furnish proof of graduation before the end of their first semester of enrollment. It is essential that you read the International Applicant Financial Forms carefully. Complete and return that form along with supporting documentation as outlined in the instructions. No Certificate of Eligibility will be issued without satisfactory financial documentation.
Financial documentation is required for visa issuance only.
The information provided will in no way affect your application for departmental financial awards. Students who are requesting departmental financial assistance must still submit adequate financial documentation with their application. If departmental assistance does not cover all mandated financial requirements, students who have not submitted documentation will experience further delays in the issuance of Certificates of Eligibility. The assistantships include a stipend and a tuition scholarship. In return for this study grant, the assistant will be required to teach, assist with research, or perform other duties as assigned by the department.
