You are required to certify that you will have available the sum of $25,000 USD for your own expenses for each academic year at McNeese State University, exclusive of travel expenses. Students who plan to stay in the United States through the summer will need additional money for that three-month period. This form must be signed by your sponsor and must be accompanied by a recent (within the past 6 months) bank statement or letter from a bank official verifying that your sponsor has a current minimum balance of $25,000. If you plan to bring your spouse and/or children, you must show an additional $4,800 per academic year for your spouse and/or $3,000 for each child. Please note that a form I-20 (for the issuance of a F-1 visa) cannot be issued until you have been admitted to McNeese State University.

I certify that the total amount of money that I have available for my first academic year of student at McNeese State University (including funds for spouse and children if applicable) as mentioned below is correct and complete and that I shall notify McNeese State University of any change in my financial circumstances.
