Please read this information before going to the Affidavit of Support Form at the bottom of the page:
An international student must document sufficient funding to cover the annual expenses for the entire program of study at New Jersey City University. To receive an I-20, you are required to submit evidence that liquid funds are available to cover one year’s expenses ( $42,000 US) and evidence that sufficient funds will be available for every year of the program. Married students who plan to bring their spouses and children must document the availability of at least an additional $8,000 per academic year for each dependent.
In preparing your documents, remember that students holding F-1 student visas are permitted to work in the U.S. only under certain limited circumstances. Therefore, applicants should not count on employment during their studies as a means of financial support. Spouses of F-1 student visa holders are not permitted to work under any circumstances.
The following list summarizes the approximate expenses an international student will incur in one academic year (nine months) at NJCU. All costs are subject to change. We also advise students to be prepared for unforeseen and discretionary spending not included in this estimate of annual expenses.
