Tuition & Expenses
The University of San Diego offers merit scholarships to our international students however; you cannot rely solely on financial assistance or awards from the university to support you during your studies. In order to receive your Certificate of Eligibility, Form I-20 from USD, you are required to provide proof of your ability to pay for all of your educational and living expenses. To do so we ask that you completely fill out the Certification of Finances form.
In addition to completing the Certification of Finances form, you must submit other supporting documents such as a letter from your bank indicating the amount of US Dollars available for your academic studies. Sending a copy of your bank statement without the attached Certification of Finances form is not acceptable. All documents must be original and must be translated into English. If your funds are coming from several resources you must indicate each source and provide proper documentation for the entire amount of academic expenses.
