Proof of Funds Requirements at US English Programs

A source-by-source look at the financial evidence some schools publish for international applicants. Each amount keeps its stated time period because these figures are not directly comparable.

Before You Compare

These Amounts Answer Different Questions

A school may ask for evidence covering one session, two semesters, living costs, insurance, or a combination of expenses. Check the figures individually rather than averaging or ranking them.

1

Check the Time Period

Confirm how many weeks, sessions, or semesters the amount is intended to cover.

2

Check What Is Included

Ask whether tuition, housing, insurance, and dependent costs are included.

3

Confirm With the School

Requirements and accepted documents can change before our next review.

Important coverage note

If a school is not shown, that does not mean it has no financial-evidence requirement. It means we have not recorded a published amount from that school.

School-Published Information

Published Requirements in Our Research

Open the school source before applying, then confirm the current amount, covered period, accepted documents, and any allowance for dependents.

Methodology

Coverage and Method

What We Included

We included an amount only when a school page published a specific figure and our research included its source and date checked.

What We Did Not Do

We did not estimate missing amounts, convert unlike time periods, or treat these figures as the full cost of attendance.
