Most financial institutions will complete the form. However, if your institution will not, please contact international@uwf.edu. It is possible to accept certain types of bank letters in place of the signature or stamp. You must include a completed CFR form. The CFR form is the "Certification of Financial Resources" and is required for before receiving an I-20 form because the CFR explains who is providing the money for your education & living expenses.
If you are using your money from your bank, then you are the Sponsor. Ask an official from your bank to complete the bottom half of the form.
Please finish these steps quickly to receive an I-20 Form. - Download the CFR Form
