To receive an I-20 for your student visa, you will be required to submit the documents below proving you have the financial means to support yourself for a full calendar year, including tuition, fees, and living expenses.

Your financial documents are not related to your admission decision. However, Hofstra cannot issue you an immigration document until you have provided sufficient evidence of financial support.

You are welcome to submit these documents prior to “conditional acceptance” to expedite the process, but please be aware that you won’t know your potential merit scholarship until you receive your decision.

Submit the following to your portal at http://my.hofstra.edu or attach in an e-mail to [email protected] with your Name and Student ID number:

• Financial evidence, usually bank statement(s) or certificate(s) of deposit, equivalent to the cost of one academic year of tuition and living expenses, minus any merit scholarship award (per year)
• Copy of valid passport
• I-20 Application Form
• Affidavit of Support Form (if the financial documents include an account that is not in the student’s name) Please fill in the U.S. dollar equivalent that the sponsor promises to provide.

If applicable:

• Dependent Information Form (if any dependents, ie., children, spouse, will accompany you to the U.S.)
• Sponsor's Promise of Free Room and Board Form (if a family member or sponsor will be providing you with free off-campus accommodations for the duration of your education program)

If you are already in the U.S. on an F-1 student visa, you must also submit:

• Copy of your current I-20
• Copy of U.S. F-1 visa
• F1 transfer form signed by your current school
