URGENT!!!!!!!!!! Regarding 'Certification of Finances Document'.

[sahil123]

I am an international student.
Do I have to show money for the entire first year in ‘Certification of Finances document’ regardless of the financial aid I will get at the college or just the amount of money we currently have?

Please reply fast as deadlines are approaching.

Thanks in advance.

Your certification of finances must show,that you have enough money to cover a full year for ALL costs to attend the college. Beware that some schools require more than this.

This amount can include approved loans and already awarded college financial aid.

@happymomof1 doesn’t this certification of finances get completed once a student is accepted and has an institutional financial aid award?

I am applying to Depauw ED and they have asked to submit the C of F document along with the application. @thumper1

Remember that Depauw is not need blind toward international students. This means that your ability to pay will be a factor in the admissions process. In addition, they do not meet 100% demonstrated need for accepted students.

@Depauw University

ALL INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS MUST SUBMIT PROOF OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THEIR APPLICATION AND BE CONSIDERED FOR ADMISSION TO DEPAUW.

The total estimated amount that must be shown in order to qualify for an I-20 form from DePauw for the 2016 – 17 academic year is $59,722 (less any financial awards for which you may qualify). Please note that this estimated number is subject to change once tuition has been officially set by the university later this year.
THE BREAKDOWN OF THIS ESTIMATE FOR THE 2016 – 17 ACADEMIC YEAR IS AS FOLLOWS:

Tuition and fees - $45,660
Room and Board - $12,240
Insurance - $1,422
Enrollment Deposit - $400
TOTAL - $59,722

@Depauw University

Does DePauw offer financial aid for international students?

All international students will be considered for merit-based scholarships upon acceptance to DePauw. Our scholarships are based primarily on academic competitiveness (grades in school, SATs, TOEFL/IELTS, course work) and the following is also considered: need, strength of overall application, community service work, activities, etc.

DePauw offers a limited amount of need-based assistance for international students. To be considered, applicants must complete the CSS Profile and the Certificate of Finances.

merit based scholarships for international students are extremely competitive

How much aid will you need?

If you are able to pay for your 4 years then go for it.

Otherwise, perhaps you should consider applying RD so that you can cast a wider net of schools.

I need almost 30k fa a year @sybbie719

I will bite @sahil123

Unless you are a very tippy top student, it is not likely you will,get $30,000 in merit aid from DePauw.

[sahil123]

I got a 1440 on SAT(Considering Depauw has 1370 as 75th percentile score) and applying ED . 4th place holder of World’s Largest Inter School quiz which involved 140,000 students. I was on a research project on Ferroelectric species. I have stellar grades.
Is that enough @thumper1

[happymomof1]

You need to contact the place you are applying to, and ask about the Certificate of Finances. Some don’t give aid to international applicants, and the C of F is necessary or the application won’t even be read.
