You are required to certify that you will have sufficient funds available for your first year of expenses at The University of Texas at Austin. The cost,
based on 2009 estimates is: $44,500 for undergraduates, $30,300 for graduates, $54,000 for the Graduate School of Business and $50,500 for the
School of Law. For more information see: http://www.utexas.edu/international/isss/students/new. Estimates include tuition and fees for one academic
year and 12 months of living expenses. They do not include summer tuition. The cost of tuition is subject to change without notice. You should be
prepared to show the U.S. Consulate/Embassy how you will meet your program expenses. When computing your expenses, remember that students
should not look to employment as a means of support unless an offer of an academic appointment (teaching or research assistantship) accompanies
admission to a graduate department. Financial aid is generally not available to new international students, and financial assistance to continuing students
is extremely limited.
If you are a married applicant who plans to bring your spouse and/or child(ren), you must certify the availability of at least an additional $7,500 per year
for your spouse and $3,000 for each child. The spouse of an F-1 student visa holder is not permitted to work; the spouse of a J-1 exchange visitor visa
may apply for permission to work upon arrival in the U.S.
Students enrolled at the University are required to have health and accident insurance, which is included in the cost of tuition and fees. It is advisable
for all dependents to have health and accident insurance. Dependents of J-1 exchange visitors are required to have health and accident insurance which
could cost an additional $3,204 (spouse); $1,728 (children) per year.
This is to certify that I have read the information given by the applicant on this form, that it is true and accurate, and that the funds are
