(Student must complete all sections, unless exempted from specific items listed below.)
In what subject area do you plan to study/major? This information is required and will appear on your I-20. In addition, consular
officials may inquire about your course of study, so be sure that it accurately reflects your academic interests (i.e., Computer Science,
Business Analytics, Mechanical Engineering, etc.).
If you are currently in the U.S., what is your visa status? Please indicate whether it is an F1, H4, R2 or any other type of non-
immigrant visa.
*Students studying in the U.S. must submit photocopies of current I-20 and I-94 documents with their application form.
Section II. Address Information
Permanent Address. Your permanent address must be a non-U.S. address in order for an I-20 to be issued to you. If you are currently
living in the U.S., you must provide the address of a relative or friend abroad who will be able to retrieve your documents if necessary.
Mailing address. Only complete this if you want your documents to be sent to an address other than your permanent address.

UPS, FedEx, etc.), you must request special handling from the Admissions Office via e-mail at: admissions@floridapoly.edu
You must also
provide billing information as you are solely responsible for all fees associated with this service.
Section III. Source and Amount of Funding
According to USCIS regulations, the international student advisor is required to receive and evaluate evidence of financial support to verify
that students will be able to sufficiently cover the costs of their education. Original documents or certified copies/letters must be provided by
banks, sponsoring agencies, etc., as necessary, to confirm funding sources. The amounts provided must be equal to or greater than the
estimated total cost of attendance for 2018-2019 ($39,199 for undergraduates and $38,192 for graduates).
Source of Funds for 2020 - 2024. You must provide exact amounts for the academic year 2020 - 2021. For each subsequent year
(2021 – 2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024), provide an estimate of the projected funds you plan to receive. Therefore, if you anticipate
the amount of financial aid, family income, etc., to remain relatively the same, you may duplicate those amounts in the appropriate
columns.
Florida Polytechnic University Financial Aid. You must provide a copy of your Financial Aid award letter.
Your Personal Funds. You must provide a bank statement or certified letter (with an English translation, as necessary) for any income
earned from employment, etc., that will be applied to the costs of your education. While it is likely that the bank statement will fluctuate,
please provide as accurate information as possible. For example, if you intend to provide $3,000 and your bank statement indicates a balance
of $1,000, that is to be expected. We need to ensure that there is a pattern of assets being set aside for the purpose of funding your education.

studies. You will have the opportunity to declare any dependents that will accompany you.
