It is important for international applicants to understand the great financial responsibility of attending a university in the U.S.
The potential of financial aid awards and/or on-campus employment opportunities through Cameron University to international students cannot be guaranteed and should therefore not be expected.
You are required to certify that you will have the sum for all expenses during your first year at Cameron University. The supporting documents that are required for Proof of Guaranteed Funds must be translated in English. If you plan to bring your spouse and/or children, additional funds must be available to support dependents amounting to U.S $10,000 for a spouse and U.S. $6,000 for each child. The first year expenses include tuition, living expenses, and other estimated expenses to be incurred for books, incidentals, etc.
What are ways to prove Guaranteed Funds?
Cameron University requires financial statement(s) that meet governmental regulations.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services requires universities to certify international students have sufficient funding to pursue a course of study. Cameron University therefore requires international students to present documentation of adequate liquid financial resources to cover all expenses at the university their first year. The financial statement(s) must be dated within 6 months of the first term they will attend. The financial statement(s) must list balance(s) of financial resources held over a span of six months. The statements must be officially certified by the bank. That requires financial statements stamped by the financial institution or signed by a bank official and mailed or emailed by the bank to us. Attached is a template of a bank statement with ending monthly balance. Six such bank statements are sufficient to meet the requirement. A bank statement listing balance(s) of account(s) over the course of six months is also sufficient.
Acceptable sources of financial resources are:
- Checking or savings account
- CDs with a maturity date prior to the date of the student’s admission
- Money market account
- Scholarships through the university or home government
Please note that these documents must be in English.
Unacceptable sources of financial resources are:
- Stocks and bonds
- Mutual funds
- Business bank account
- Statement of earned salary
- Tax returns
- Property ownership
What makes a document official?
A document is considered official if it comes from an original source and is not opened prior to arriving at Cameron University. Stamped and sealed envelopes that we receive directly from your school, a credential evaluation company, test center, financial institution, or bank are considered official. Documents emailed from the original source’s email account with administrator's name sending the email may also be acceptable.
We do NOT consider documents sent directly from the student official or via email from the student official documents.
Please see Transfer Admission Requirements.
It is recommended that you have application and all supplemental documents required submitted by June for the fall semester and November for spring semester.
Applications will be processed in the order in which they are received.
Prospective students must meet both the CU admission policies and USCIS immigration regulations before an I-20 can be issued. All documents submitted during your application and subsequent enrollment become the property of Cameron University and cannot be returned.
Once you have been accepted as a student at CU, you will receive an email confirming your acceptance and you will be asked where and how you would like your I-20 sent. There is no fee to ship via regular mail, but delays could exist. If you would like it sent by courier, we will only accept arrangements made through eShip Global. This must be paid and arranged by the student.
