Certification of Finances Guidelines

Please read prior to completing this form.
The purpose of the Certification of Finances is to help colleges and universities obtain complete and
accurate information about the funds available to international applicants who want to study in the
United States. Strict government regulations, rising education costs and economic conditions have
made verifying the financial resources of international applicants essential. Institutions do not have
the option of deciding whether to verify the financial resources of their international applicants;
financial verif ication must be made prior to institutional issuance of a Certificate of Eligibility (Form
I-20 or DS-2019).
This form is designed to standardize financial information provided by applicants to colleges,
universities and U.S. consuls. By completing this form and returning it to the college or university
requiring it, an applicant, if admitted, may obtain that colleges authorization and issuance of a
Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20 or DS-2019). If parents and/or sponsors are unable to obtain a
bank officials verification, it is recommended that institutions forward a copy of the International
Student Financial Aid Application to the family for completion. The institution should attach a
copy of this certification to the Certificate of Eligibility. U.S. consuls scrutinize the statements of
financial resources given by nonimmigrant visa applicants. This certification will help such officials
make their decisions and expedite visa issuance.
Return this form directly to the college that provided or requested it. Do not send it to
the College Board.
The space below is for optional use by issuing institutions for listing students expected annual budget.
