All international students in F-1 or J-1 visa/status must show funding for their program at William & Mary or VIMS. This is a US government requirement. These estimates are only used for issuing I-20 and DS-2019 immigration documents, and you should not rely on these figures for your own planning. 

We recommend checking the tuition and fees website for the most accurate tuition and information; graduate students should also check with their program.

You must provide copies of financial documents that show that you have funds to study for the upcoming year, using the table below. Your funding is expected to be available during your studies.

You will upload your financial documents through iStart, and we will use that information to issue your I-20 or DS-2019.
