STEPS TO COMPLETE AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT
1. Indicate your Financial Status
Some international students have the ability to fully fund their education
and are not seeking any financial assistance. Other international students do
not have sufficient funding and need financial assistance in order
to attend Taylor University. Students and their parents must complete the
Affidavit of Support Form regardless of financial status as a part of the
application process.
2. Complete and Upload the Form
In Section D, provide an overview of your family’s financial situation. In
Section E, note the type and amount of funds which you intend to use toward
your educational expenses. Financial resources which will not
be used toward your educational expenses, or amounts in excess of the
projected expenses, should not be included in this table (see Section D). The
form must be completed and signed by both student and parent.
3. Upload Corresponding Financial Documentation
Applicants must upload verifying documents for all funding sources.
Examples of reliable documentation of funding sources:
Documentation of Parents’ Annual Salary: Income statement, pay-stub,
letter from parent’s employer, or annual income tax return, translated
into English.
Parent’s/Student’s Bank Statement(s): Recent bank statement(s)
translated into English and in US dollars. If the translation is not an
official translation provided by the bank, the translation should
be notarized.
If you have a sponsor or other funding source, such as a relative,
government agency, outside scholarship, or a church stipend, please
submit an affidavit of support letter signed by that sponsor—notarized
and translated into English. Submit corresponding documentation of the
sponsor’s source of contribution toward your expenses
(income/bank statement).
All financial information will be kept confidential.
Scanned copies of all documents may be sent to:

I cannot fully fund my Taylor education.
I recognize that I will need scholarship assistance if I am to attend Taylor University. If I do not receive scholarship assistance, I will not be admitted to
Taylor University. I will indicate the amount that I am able to contribute toward my education on the Affidavit of Support Form and provide financial
documentation to verify this amount.
I am not in need of financial assistance.
My family and I will be providing full funding for the duration of my Taylor University education. I recognize that I am still eligible for merit-based
scholarships but I also affirm that I take responsibility for covering my billed and personal expenses while at Taylor University. I will complete the
Affidavit of Support Form and provide financial documentation to verify my ability to finance my education.
