If you are an International student planning to attend on campus classes, and your admission letter requests an Affidavit of Financial Support and Proof of Funds, follow these steps:

1. Download and print the Affidavit of Financial Support form

2. Complete and sign the form.
You must indicate the source of financial support. Sponsors must sign the financial affidavit; electronic signatures are not accepted. You may sign the form if you are self-funded. This documentation is required in order to issue an I-20 or DS-2019 and has no bearing on the admission decision. You MUST indicate on the form if you are bringing dependents.

3. Scan and Upload
Scan the signed document and upload a PDF to your application status at: https://gradapply.ksu.edu/apply/status (select your application, scroll down and choose Upload Materials).

4. Upload Proof of funds
Upload your proof of funds document(s), such as bank statements, etc. to your status page (same as step 3). DO NOT email the form or documents.

It may take up to two weeks after we receive your documents to process and release your I-20. You will receive a notification when the I-20 has been released. Please do not send additional email requesting your I-20.

If you are an International student, admitted to attend on campus classes:

• Check-in with Graduate School: Upon arrival to campus, please check in with the Graduate School at Eisenhower Hall. Bring with you a copy of your admission letter, and also bring the documents requested in your admission letter.
• Check-in with ISSS: U.S. immigration regulations require that you check in with International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS). See: www.k-state.edu/isss.

Your admission letter may state that you are required to enroll in and complete specific courses as part of your graduate study. You should plan to work with your academic advisor after arriving on campus to plan your study and the courses you will take, including any stated in your admission letter.
