Financial Arrangements for International Students
All applicants who are not United States citizens must submit evidence of full financial support for all expenses at Keuka College as a condition of being issued an F-1 student visa. You must submit to Keuka College a bank statement already translated to English that shows you have the funding available to pay for one year.
If you are being funded by a sponsor, relative, or friend, you will need to submit their original bank document and a brief statement from the sponsor indicating their relationship to you and explaining that the enclosed bank statement is funding available for your studies.
You will need to keep these original documents for your appointment with your local U.S. embassy or consulate.
Upon your arrival to campus, you will need to provide Keuka College with original copies of these financial documents.
