Financial Documentation for I-20
Please note: The tuition and fees listed on this page reflect estimated program costs. These figures may not match the amount you are required to demonstrate for your I-20 request. The financial ability requirement is determined by the average tuition cost for all graduate programs at the UW plus the estimated average cost of living for one year as determined by the U.S. government. Students note this cost far exceeds the actual cost of program fees and cost of living. You will receive detailed instructions and the official amount required for you demonstrate proof of funding on your I-20.
Foster MSCM students may finance their education through a combination of personal funds, educational loans, scholarships and employer tuition benefits. Here’s a resource for loans, scholarships and other financial aid.
