Financial resources
Applicants who expect to hold an F-1 (Student) or J-1 (Exchange Visitor) visa will need a Form I-20 or Form DS-2019 from the University of Nebraska--Lincoln. To create a form for you, we need documents showing that you will have sufficient funds available for the first nine-month academic year.
Typically, these funds come from one or more of the following sources:
- a UNL teaching or research assistantship
- a scholarship from a university or government agency in the student's home country
- personal or family sources
All F-1 and J-1 applicants should complete a Financial Resource Certification form (PDF) and mail it to us with bank statements or other documentation of funding.
