- If the letter did not come with funding, email the programme coordinator or professors to inquire about graduate assistantship opportunities.
- If that doesn’t work, explore the school’s website for possible on-campus work, or maybe try another department office.
- If all else fails, consider student loans or obtaining a legitimate bank statement.
How to obtain an I-20:
- If you have received funding (assistantship, research assistantship, scholarship, or loan letter), submit it to the international admissions office.
- If not, provide a bank statement (6-3 months old) with sufficient funds (higher than your total cost of attendance or total fee for one year). Your total fees is $20,0000; you need a bank statement of $30,000.00.
