International Student Application Checklist

The International Student Financial Aid Application is required for admission and International Student Scholarship and Student Employment consideration. And the Certification of Finances form (along with a bank or income statement) will be required if a student is accepted and intends to enroll. This form must show that “sufficient funding” is available to cover remaining costs after factoring in the CSB+SJU International Student Scholarship. This information is needed for schools to issue a SEVIS I-20 form which students need to apply for an U.S. F1 student visa.

The writing sample/essay is optional but if you submit one it will give the Admission Committee an opportunity to learn about you as a person and to give an example of your writing abilities.

The evaluation should be from a teacher from one of your core academic courses (English, math, science, or social science). Only one evaluation is required, but you may submit more than one.
