This includes being able to cover the cost of tuition, books, living expenses and travel. School officials must collect evidence of the student’s financial ability before issuing an I20 form. A prospective student must have financial evidence showing that they or a sponsor has sufficient funds to cover tuition and living expenses during the period of intended study. Evidence of financial ability includes but is not limited to:

Students must submit evidence of financial ability to the school in order for the school to issue the I20 form.  Students must also bring their evidence of financial ability when applying for their student visa with the U.S. Department of State. It is also advised to have the evidence on-hand when entering the country at a U.S. port of entry, in the event a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer asks to review it. 

Once the school receives the evidence of financial ability and the signed enrollment contract, we will immediately issue an I20 form.  You can apply for your student visa at the US Embassy or designated Consulate up to 120 days before you begin your studies at Woodward.
