Proof of Financial Resources

Students on non-immigrant visas must certify that they possess adequate financial resources to support themselves (and their families if they accompany the student to the U.S.) while in residence at The University of Arizona. If sponsorship is through an organization or government agency, the sponsor must inform the Graduate Admissions Office, in writing and in advance, of the terms of support. The official letter of sponsorship must include specific information on the amount and duration of the financial award. Financial guarantees must be dated within one year of the term of admission and must be addressed to The University of Arizona. In addition, if The University of Arizona is to bill a sponsor for the student's tuition and fees, billing must be handled through an embassy or an agency within the United States. Prior to registration, an official letter regarding billing information must be sent to the Office of International Student Programs and Services, The University of Arizona, 915 N. Tyndall Ave., Tucson, Arizona 85721-0441.
