International Student School and Living Expenses Academic Year 24-25
CLC is required by the United States government to examine the financial documentation of F-1 students to ensure the financial support is sufficient to issue an I-20. An international student at CLC will need to show official proof of sufficient funds to cover tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, health insurance (required by state law), and personal expenses. Official proof of funding cannot be more than 3 months old at time of application.
The funding can be from personal funds, funds from the student’s family/sponsor, scholarships, fellowships or sponsoring agencies or governments. Funding needs to be in liquid assets only. Property is not an acceptable source of funding.
