Valor does not provide any type of financial assistance or scholarships. The financial requirements consist of completing the Financial Certification Form and the Affidavit of Support (only completed when the student will have someone else support him or her during his or her time in the United States). Both of these documents need to be notarized and accompanied by appropriate documentation.
International students are ineligible to work off campus while studying in the United States. On-campus employment is limited to 20 hours a week. Employment is not guaranteed. On-campus employment may not be used as a source of income when filling out Affidavit of Sponsorship/Financial Certification Form. Spouses of international students are not permitted to hold any type of employment while in the U.S. Hence, all international applicants must show proof of financial support for each year of enrollment at Valor Christian College.
All international students must be full-time (12+ credit hours per semester). The amounts listed below are subject to change without notice. Medical insurance is required. The cost listed is approximate and may vary with each individual student. All single applicants age 34 and younger are required to stay in the residence halls. Married couples are not allowed to live on campus.

Completing Affidavit of Sponsorship and Financial Certification Form
All applicants must fill out the Financial Certification Form. Click here to download the Admissions Package for International Students which includes the instructions and forms.
If the student is supporting him/herself, he or she must submit the Financial Certification Form and bank statement(s) (in student’s name). Funds in bank must be sufficient for ALL years of study.
If the student is being sponsored, the student must submit the Financial Certification Form. The student’s sponsor(s) must submit the Affidavit of Sponsorship form with appropriate documents. The sponsor may be an organization, a relative, church or government, or a combination of these. If an applicant has more than one sponsor, each person providing financial support needs to provide a separate Affidavit of Sponsorship.
Affidavit of Sponsorship must be completely filled out and notarized. Please pay attention to the instruction page and follow the directions thoroughly. If the forms are not properly filled out when submitted they will be returned to the applicant.
Make sure to provide ALL of the supporting financial information for the Affidavit of Support as indicated in instructions, i.e. bank statement(s), employment letter(s), etc. Do not leave any spaces blank. Both Affidavit of Support and bank statement(s) must indicate that you have the required amount or more ($17,930 for single students on campus, $25,010 for single students off campus, $31,240 for married students with no children, etc.) available for each year of enrollment at Valor. All forms must be in English and the amounts shown in U.S. dollars.
Paying Tuition and Fees
All accepted international applicants are required to pay tuition and fees for one academic year. All students who are required to live in the Residence Halls are required to pay tuition, fees and dorm cost for one academic year. No exceptions will be made. The form I-20 will not be issued until full payment has been made, payments must be made in U.S. Currency.
All payments must be submitted in the form of an international money order, cashier's check made payable to Valor Christian College, a credit card or a Wired Transfer.
The eligibility I-20 form, which is required for issuance of the Visa, will be mailed only upon receipt of a full payment.
Health insurance is highly recommended but not required as a condition of enrollment for International students. Your health provider must be from the U.S. Living expenses are not paid to Valor. But Valor must have documentation that you are able to live and study without having to work during your stay in the country.
