Each international student must certify that he/she has sufficient funds (exclusive of travel expenses) for university tuition, fees, books, supplies, and living expenses. The following information is for one year of study at UMBC: a. If you intend to support yourself from personal funds, you should send a current, original letter (in English) from your bank (on official bank letterhead) to UMBC. The letter should verify the amount you have in your home country currency or, if it is a U.S. dollar account, in U.S. dollars. The letter should also include the date the account was opened. For students who applied to begin in Fall 2005, the International Services Education office required evidence of funds in the amount of $26,000 in U.S. dollars (for tuition, fees, living expenses and mandatory health insurance) for one school year. b. If you are receiving support from your parents, spouse, or other sponsors, you should send a notarized letter (in English) indicating parents, spouse or sponsor's relationship to you and the amount of money in U.S. dollars that they will make available to you. In addition to their letter, the Graduate School also requires a current, original letter (in English) from their bank (on official bank letterhead) to UMBC. The letter should verify the amount they have in home country currency or, if it is a U.S. dollar account, in U.S. dollars. The letter should also include the date the account was opened. Note: If you have any additional questions regarding financial resources, please contact John Lorch, International Student Advisor (lorch@umbc.edu or fax at 410-455-1130).
