CERTIFICATION OF FINANCES
2022-2023
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 verification 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 college’s
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
official’s 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.
The space below is for optional use by issuing institutions for listing student’s expected annual budget.
