wisely and is willing to share on campus living quarters with another student. While

Estimate of International Student Expenses
2015-2016
The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point requires certification of adequate financial support
from all students with non-immigrant visas. The following is an estimate of the minimum expenses
for an international graduate student who lives and dines on campus for the academic year.
Summer study and living expenses are not included. All amounts are in U.S. Dollars (USD):
Tuition and fees
Housing*
Meals
Personal Expenses
Health and Accident Insurance ++
Total
$17,962.00
$3860.00
$3126.00
$1,000.00
$1050.00
$26,998.00
* The housing rate cited is for a shared (“double”) residence hall (dormitory) room. Eligibility for private (“single”) residence hall
rooms is limited and rates for single rooms are higher.
++ Graduate students who hold research or teaching assistantships are eligible for UW System employee medical insurance. As
such assistantships are limited in number and awarded following admission, documentation of financial support for
non-assistantship insurance coverage is required.
Please complete and submit the Financial Support Statement on the opposite side of this form. You
must attach an original bank letter(s) on official stationery or a certified true copy (in English, or
accompanied by an official translation), indicating an exact amount of readily available funds to
support the graduate program applicant named on this form.
Graduate students may qualify for departmental assistantships. Assistantships are granted on a
case-by-case basis after an admissions decision has been made by the department. Therefore, all
applicants must show access to sufficient funds to cover the entire cost of the first year of study.
Actual out-of-pocket expenses will be reduced if an assistantship is awarded. Questions about
assistantships should be directed to the prospective graduate program.
Students holding F-1 or J-1 visas may be eligible to work part time on campus. Such work-study
positions cannot be guaranteed, so applicants cannot depend on on-campus student employment as
a source of financial support.
NOTE: All fees are subject to change without notice. Application fees are non-refundable.
