Monmouth College is pleased to offer financial assistance to qualified international students based on academic

Instructions for the International Student Financial Certification Form
Please read the following instructions carefully before completing the International Student Financial Certification Form and submitting
evidence of funding.

resources for their expenses while studying in the U.S. Funds may come from a variety of sources including scholarships, fellowships,
sponsoring agencies, continuance of salary, the applicant’s family, or any dependable source. The completion of the International Student
Financial Certification Form, along with supporting evidence of funding, are required parts of the International Student Application.
