What is the International Student Financial Statement (ISFS)?
The immigration service requires FIT to obtain documentary evidence of your financial ability to study in the US. The ISFS is the only form accepted by FIT for this purpose. You must provide a detailed account of how you plan to pay for your studies. An estimate of expenses based on one- year’s attendance is available on the International Undergraduate Application Instruction Sheet and on FIT’s website. This amount must be available to you in liquid funds outside or inside the US and may come from a variety of sources. To view the ISFS, http://www.fitnyc.edu/pdf/ISFS.pdf. F-1 regulations severely restrict employment and internships in the US. FIT only offers financial aid to US citizens and legal permanent residents (“green card” holders).
