Statement of Financial Support: All international (F-1 visa) applicants must submit a Statement of Financial Support detailing the source(s) of funding for their program of study. Please click here to download “Statement of Financial Support” form.

International applicants will need to submit the following documentation in addition to the Statement of Financial Support:

1. A recent letter from their bank or their sponsor’s bank providing the following data: a. date account was opened, b. total amount deposited during the last year,  c. current  balance.
    
2. A statement certifying that their family or other sponsors are going to support them financially during the period of stay in the U.S. If a student’s sponsor is in the U.S. and is an American citizen or a green card holder, the sponsor must provide VIU with a notarized I-134 form, which can be downloaded from our website under the forms section. Please bring this form or send it directly to the admissions office as it needs to be in the original form. If the sponsor lives and works in the U.S. a W-2 form may  also be submitted to the Admissions Office. 

NOTE: For all financial support documents, originals or certified copies are required, and they must not be more than 6 months old.
