SJSU does not have any financial assistance for foreign students, nor is permission to work easy to get for foreign students; in fact, it is impossible to get permission during your first year in the U.S. All applicants must complete the "Declaration of Finances" and have their sponsor sign it and attach the appropriate bank statements indicating the amount of funds available. The U.S. Consul in your home country will not issue a visa until he/she is convinced that you have adequate financial resources and will continue to receive funds throughout your entire study period in the U.S. Therefore, it is necessary that ample evidence of your financial resources be sent with your application. The
estimated cost for two semesters and one year living expenses is
as follows: In addition to the tuition and registration fees, you must include in your budget, books and supplies, room and board, and personal expenses. The average costs for these expenditures will vary depending on the type of arrangements made by you. Minimum required for issue of I-20: $14,500 for one year. Tuition and fees are subject to change by the California State University without advance notice.
