STUDENT INFORMATION
PERMANENT MAILING ADDRESS:
DECLARATION AND CERTIFICATION
OF FINANCES
(REQUIRED FOR NON US CITIZEN APPLICANTS ONLY)
Please note: This is a required form. Tulane University will not review a student’s application for admission, or issue
an I-20 Certificate of Eligibility, which is essential to obtain a United States visa, until this form has been returned to
the Office of Undergraduate Admission. The purpose of this form is to certify that you can provide the finances
necessary for tuition cost and living expenses during the school year. You should certify the maximum dollar amount
you and your family can comfortably contribute on a yearly basis, up to $80,378. Regardless of the amount certified,
students can be equally considered for merit and need-based scholarships. The maximum need-based financial aid
awarded by Tulane to international students is $23,000 per year. The maximum merit-based scholarship (requiring
strong SAT or ACT scores) students are automatically considered for is $32,000 annually. Therefore, to receive
admission by the earliest date possible, you should certify that you can provide at least $48,378 ( = $80,378 minus
$32,000). If the amount a student certifies combined with merit and need-based scholarships we are able to offer is
below $80,378, we may not be able to offer admission at that time. Those students will be evaluated for admission
again later in the year when applications for full tuition merit scholarships (valued at $57,050 annually) become
available. As our largest possible award is $58,850, at an absolute minimum students need to certify $21,528 ( =
$80,378 minus $58,850) to cover room, meal plan, and other costs. Merit-based awards may require a separate
application, visit admission.tulane.edu/tuition-aid/merit-scholarships for more information. The information provided
on the Declaration and Certification of Finances must be true and accurate. The inclusion of false information is
grounds for dismissal from Tulane. Failing to submit the form in a timely manner will delay your admission, registration,
and visa. Please be aware that a student visa does not permit you to work off campus in the United States.
*International transfer applicants must certify that they can provide at least $58,850.
