Requirements After Acceptance - All F-1 Visa Students
In order to receive a Form I-20, please follow the instructions below submitting each official document to the Undergraduate Admissions Office. The following documents are due May 1 for fall admission or November 1 for spring admission.
1. Official Bank Statements: All international students holding or intending to seek an F-1 student visa must submit current official bank statement(s) signed by an official from the banking institution. Statements must be in English verifying the student's financial resources in U.S. dollars for the total cost of attendance, including tuition and fees, other academic expenses, living expenses, and transportation for the year of intended enrollment. The current year’s Estimated Cost of Attendance Chart is listed on our Financial Aid website.
International students must show $30,000-$40,000 as a minimum amount in U.S. dollars. This is the estimated annual family contribution to your Stevenson education. If this is not an amount a family can contribute each year, Stevenson is not likely going to be an affordable option in the college search.
2. Financial Resource Statement: All international students holding or intending to seek an F-1 student visa must complete the F-1 Student Declaration of Finances form and the Sponsor Commitment form if applicable.
3. Enrollment Deposit: Submit a nonrefundable deposit of $300.
4. SEVIS Fee: Accepted F-1 international students are responsible for paying the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) fee at fmjfee.com.
Full-time
Undergraduate freshman and transfer students on an F-1 visa must take a minimum of 12 credits each semester.
Scholarships
Freshman and transfer undergraduate students in traditional programs are automatically considered for academic merit scholarships. The scholarship review is based on secondary school performance for freshmen and previous post-secondary school academic coursework and grades for transfer students. Federal financial aid programs are available to documented U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, and some other eligible non-U.S. citizens. While international students can be considered for academic merit scholarships, there are no full-tuition scholarships or separately designated scholarships for international students.
