Please note that U.S. law requires
that students demonstrate that they have sufficient funds to cover the
first year tuition and living expenses, plus access to a continuing
source of funds to cover subsequent years.
The best way to show proof of
funds is a full scholarship that covers tuition and living expenses.
For students that do not have full scholarships, a good way to show
proof of funds is to provide a receipt and/or a letter from the
university, stating that they have pre-paid the first year's or first
semester's tuition costs. However, students should be aware that even
if they have pre-paid the tuition, they must also show that they are
able to pay all other expenses (housing, food, books, etc.) as
indicated on the I-20.
