What is a financial guarantee?
A financial guarantee is an official bank statement, or scholarship offer, which promises to sponsor or pay for a student's academic studies. The amount to be covered includes tuition, fees, books, and the cost of living. If you are submitting a personal bank statement it must have been issued within the last 6 months. Bank statements must be in English. If it is not your personal bank statement you must include the financial guarantee authorization from the account holder.
Financial Guarantee Requirements
- Must be recent, within 6 months of being issued
- Needs to be in English
- Needs to be on official bank letterhead
- Needs to show account balance (not average in the account)
- Date of issuance
- Name of account holder
- Needs to be checking or savings
Each 8 week session requires the amount in the total for the financial guarantee document. For example, if applying for 3 sessions, then multiple the total by the number of sessions (Intensive English - $8,073 * 3 = $24,219)
