Affidavit of Financial Support Instructions


The U.S. government regulations require that all international students show proof of adequate and available funding for
tuition, fees and living expenses while studying in the U.S. As such, Biola University must receive a complete Affidavit of
Financial support that confirms that the student has met the financial requirements before an I-20 is processed and issued.
For the estimated total cost of education, please see the chart below. The sponsor signing this form is confirming that
he/she will be responsible for payments of expenses for the duration of the student’s study. However, the sponsor is required
to show proof of available funding (bank statement) to meet the first year expenses while affirming with a signature that the
support will continue for subsequent years according to the fees set for that year. Please note that incomplete forms or lack of
the required support documents will delay the issuance of an I-20.

Tuition and Fees 2021-2022

Tuition (2021-2022) $44,382


(Based on flat fee of 12-18 units)
Estimated Living Expenses $9,798-$11,131

TOTAL $56,320-$57,653

$10,000 for a spouse and $4,000 for each child

addition, consider $1000 for books and supplies.

Requirements and Guidelines – Please print this document and fill out all the requested areas clearly. Before submitting
the form, make sure that the following requirements are met:
1. Student’s information and signature are completed
2. Sponsor’s information and signature are completed
3. Bank Statement/Certificate of Balance is included and it is sufficient to cover the annual cost of education (see
the chart above). Please note that if a student has been offered a scholarship from Biola University, that amount
may be subtracted from the total annual cost, and the sponsor may confirm support for the remaining portion.

Bank Statement/Certificate of Balance – A sponsor may provide a bank statement or a certificate of deposit confirming the
availability of funds which are equivalent (or in excess) of the amount of estimated annual cost. The bank statement must be
current (issued within the last 3 months of submitting this form). Real estate holdings or other non-liquid assets ARE NOT
accepted.

Additional Information – Students who are receiving scholarships from corporations, organizations, or their government
must provide an official letter that specifies the terms of the scholarship, amount of the scholarship, and contact information
if further inquiries arise. Canadian students who are receiving Canadian student loans may provide confirmation of their loan
disbursement details.
