The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires international students to submit proof of financial solvency. This requirement may be met by completing the Statement of Financial Support (PDF) form or by submitting a notarized official letter from a bank addressed to Austin Community College.

The bank letter must bear the original signature of a bank official and have been issued no more than six months prior to the start of the semester for which you are applying. This letter must be in English and have funds listed in U.S. dollars. A bank letter must show that you or your family has sufficient funds on deposit to meet educational expenses (tuition, fees, room and meals, books, travel, personal expenses) during the first year at ACC. 

The amount required for tuition and living expenses is approximately $15,000 U.S. dollars per year. This amount must be indicated on all statements of support. You, your parent(s), or sponsor(s) who are guaranteeing payment must sign these forms.

These documents must be completed before you can receive an I-20. On-campus employment will not be considered in determining financial solvency.
