The Certification of Financial Resources is completed and signed by the sponsor (or yourself if it is self support), and then, taken to your bank for approval. The bank should sign and stamp the form.
Below is an example of a correctly completed Certification of Financial Resources.
We have provided color-coded examples for submitting the CFR.
The Student's Name must be listed where requested on the CFR Form.
The Sponsor completes the Sponsor Section and signs. The Sponsor is the person providing the support; this is the student if the money is from the student's bank.
The Financial Institution/Bank completes the Financial Institution section of the CFR.
Upload Option #1:You must upload a 100% complete CFR form (Sponsor’s Section + Financial Institution’s Section).

Multiple Sources ofSupportSupport/Multiple Document FilesIt is very common to have multiple sources of support. If you need another source of support, click the check box label "I have another source of support" and additional sources will appear. Each additional source of support must have its own Certification of Financial Resources.
