Costs

All applicants who are citizens of another country must submit evidence of full financial support for all expenses at the University at Buffalo as a condition of being issued immigration documents for F-1 or J-1 status (i.e., the Certificate of Eligibility, forms I-20 or DS-2019).
Applicants must submit:
1. A completed International Applicant Financial Form (included in the International Undergraduate Application) signed by both the applicant and the applicant's financial sponsor. Download Financial Form.
2. A bank statement verifying that the necessary funds are available.
Both of the above documents must be originals with original signatures and seals. Photocopies and faxed copies are not acceptable.
While an admission decision can be made without the financial documentation, the I-20 or DS-2019 forms cannot be issued until both the Financial Form and Bank Statement are received.
