This form is designed to standardize nancial information provided by applicants to Whittier College. By completing and returning this form to the College, an
applicant, if admitted, may obtain the College’s authorization and issuance of a Certicate of Eligibility (Form I-20). Attach supporting documents. Individual
sponsors, such as parents or relatives, are required to sign the form and substantiate their ability to support the student by attaching an original ocial bank

ocials signature and bank seal are required on the certication if the student is partially or totally supported by personal savings. United States consuls
scrutinize the statements of nancial resources given by non-immigrant visa applicants. It is important that you answer each of the questions and obtain the appropriate
signatures, otherwise this form will be considered incomplete and your application will not be reviewed for admission to the College. A completed Financial
Certication will help United States consuls make their decisions and expedite the visa issuance.
