Attachment C
SPONSOR’S AFFIDAVIT AND PROOF OF FREE ROOM AND BOARD
What DOES THIS AFFIDAVIT MEAN?
By completing this affidavit, you are swearing to the U.S. government that this student will live with you free
of any charge for room and food
for every year
he or she is attending Lock Have University. (The student
cannot be required to provide you with any services such as, babysitting, cleaning, etc., in exchange for the
room and board, as that is
employment
.) You are also proving that you are the person who owns or rents the
property and can afford the support you are promising with the documents you have attached.
Before signing it, it is important to understand that you are making a financial commitment to the student that
should not be broken. Sponsors who fail to provide the promised support force students to drop out of school
and cause pain and suffering. Do not expect that the student will be able to help support the costs through
employment. Employment is strictly controlled by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and is very
limited.
