Financial Declaration
Boston University is required by U.S. government regulations to check the availability of adequate funding for your tuition, fees, and living expenses for the duration of
your studies at Boston University to issue the immigration documents necessary to obtain a student visa. All financial documents submitted for evaluation will become the
property of Boston University and will not be returned to the applicant. It is recommended that you request multiple copies of the documentation listed below to submit
at the point of visa application and to retain for your records. Please refer to the Estimate of Expenses for the breakdown of fees and for the minimum required per year.
All declarations of financial support must:
1. Reflect the minimum amount of support in U.S. dollars
2. Specify funding for study at Boston University (not another college or university)
3. Include a date and be no more than one year old from the intended date of enrollment
4. Indicate the period of time for which the support will be provided
5. Be written in English
6. Reflect funds that are readily available for tuition payment (i.e., checking or savings accounts).
Certain investment accounts such as stocks, salary documents, property holding, etc. do not reflect available funds and will not be accepted.
Please check the box below which describes the type of funding you will be receiving, and attach the appropriate official documentation as outlined below. Please note that
additional funding must be provided for any accompanying dependent for which a document will need to be issued. Dependents are defined as spouse or unmarried
children under the age of 21.
If you will be funded by a family member, please submit:
1. A letter of sponsorship which indicates that your sponsor is willing and able to support you financially for your academic fees and living expenses
throughout the duration of your studies at Boston University. The letter must also indicate the sponsor’s relation to you (i.e.: mother, father, etc.)
2. An official bank statement or letter or credit reference from a bank stating the availability of the minimum estimated expenses as indicated on the
Estimate of Expenses.
If you will be funded by your government, an organization, a company, etc., the sponsor must submit a letter of sponsorship on official letterhead which states:
1. That your funding is valid specifically for Boston University.
2. Exactly which expenses will be covered (i.e., academic fees, living expenses, health insurance, financial support for family members, travel, etc.)
3. The length of the financial support.
If you will be funded by a bank loan, you must submit an official letter of certification from the lending institution indicating the specific amount for which you
have been guaranteed.
If you have received a financial award from Boston University (i.e., Fellowship, Assistantship, Scholarship, etc.) you may not need to provide additional financial
documents if the award will meet or exceed the Estimate of Expenses.
If you will be funded in a manner not listed above (for example, if you will fund yourself), you must submit official documentation (a bank statement or a credit
reference from a bank) indicating the specific amount.
