In order to complete the application and receive the necessary immigration forms to obtain a student visa, the applicant must demonstrate that he or she has sufficient funds to pay for tuition and living expenses at the UW. All applicants are required to sign and submit the Statement of Financial Responsibility form with the UW application. Applicants must also provide an original bank letter or statement dated within the last six months as evidence of financial resources. The verifying bank letter or statement can be submitted after the admission decision has been made, but the Statement of Financial Responsibility Form must be received at the time of application to the University.
Applicants should keep a copy of all financial documents submitted to the UW, as this information may be needed when applying to the U.S. Consulate for a student visa, to U.S. Immigration upon entry to the U.S., or to transfer to another university.
