International Financial Certification Guidelines
The University of Richmond is need-aware in the admission process for non-U.S. citizens/non-U.S. permanent residents.
Need-aware means that the University considers whether students have the financial resources to fund their studies for
four years when making admission decisions. Admission is very competitive for international students applying for financial
aid, but if a student is admitted, the University will meet 100% of the student’s demonstrated financial need.
In our need-aware process, Richmond requires a completed International Financial Certification prior to rendering
an admission decision for all international applicants. Please provide accurate and factually true financial documentation
when completing this form. If your family or other sponsor is able to support your education in full or in part, you should
complete this form accordingly. If you have no access to financial resources, you should complete this form with zeros,
indicating as such. If offered admission, Richmond will also utilize this form to issue the Certificate of Eligibility (Form
I-20), the immigration document required for a student visa.
Included in the estimated costs are travel expenses to and from the home country, in addition to any domestic travel during
holiday breaks. Richmond requires international students to purchase health insurance.
Students on F-1 visas may work on campus part-time but should not expect to earn significant funds through this employment.
Work is limited to a maximum of 20 hours per week. Therefore, students can earn spending money, but the earnings are not
enough to support their educational expenses at the University.
