INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE ESTIMATED COSTS

International graduate students who will require a visa to enter the United States or currently reside in the U.S. on an F-1 or J-1 visa are required by law to verify finances for the issuance of the immigration documents. Below is a link to the Graduate International Estimated Cost of Attendance matrix. This includes estimated costs for all in-person graduate programs for which a Form I-20 or DS-2019 can be created.

All graduate applicants must submit the SRU Financial Affidavit. No other affidavit will be accepted by the DSO/PSDO for the verification of finances. NOTE: Financial Affidavits are only required if the bank statement submitted is NOT in the students name but rather from a sponsor (e.g., family, friend etc).

Graduate international applicants who provide a bank statement from a sponsor will use a singular Affidavit Form linked below. Sponsors must complete the appropriate form based on the academic year the student intends to begin study. NOTE: In the 2026/27 Affiidavit sponsors must quote the total estimated cost from that matrix linked above for the students program of study.
