FINANCIAL CERTIFICATION FORM AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
You are required to submit documented evidence that you will have sufficient resources to cover your expenses for the entire length of time you plan to study at Bradley University. We request this information in compliance with regulations set forth by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Bradley University has limited merit based scholarships available for qualifying students.

The documentation of your financial resources, which we are requesting you to present, is frequently required by Consulate officials before a visa is issued. We recommend that you keep copies of all financial documents.

EDUCATIONAL RECORDS
Applicants must submit educational records for all secondary and post-secondary study. These records must be certified by an officer of the educational institution issuing the documents or by a local government official. Secondary school records should represent four years of study. Any documents submitted in a language other than English must be accompanied by an official certified English translation. All U.S. and Canadian documents must come directly from the principal or registrar to us. All university-level records must come directly from the institution to our office, as well. All university-level study will be evaluated for possible transfer credit. Accurate evaluation cannot be made without a syllabus, catalog, or course descriptions. Consequently, all transfer students should submit their foreign catalog (or excerpt) providing program and course descriptions with an English translation. Final evaluation will be completed after you enroll at Bradley.

FORM I-20
The Certificate of Eligibility (FORM I-20) is the immigration document issued to foreign nationals by U.S. universities and colleges in order to obtain a student visa. The Form I-20 will be forwarded to you along with your letter of admission.
