What forms do international students need to apply for financial aid?
All international students must fill out the Certification of Finances (COF) form. Additionally, if international students are seeking need-based financial aid they must also fill out the International Student Financial Aid Application (ISFA). The COF is ultimately used to help obtain a student visa. An application is not considered complete until the COF is received. (Please see the above question about the COF for more details about what the COF is and how it is used). International students do not submit the FAFSA or the CSS Profile. These are forms only for US citizens or permanent residents.
