<p>Is it necessary to show financial ability certificate for an international student who desperately needs financial aid and doesn't have any sponsors to support???</p>
<p>You mean when trying to get your visa? If the university costs, say, $50k a year, and you receive $30k in financial aid, you will only need to show proof that you have $20k.</p>
<p>I read on one of the college sites that I should have $60k for funding my education. Is it true?</p>
