Download the application for New International Students. You should have four pages. You cannot complete this application until the 2012-2013 costs are posted, as you will need those figures to estimate your expenses for next year. Those figures will be available on this website in December. Please note the request on Page 1 for supporting documents. Without them, the application is incomplete. Please wait until January to complete and submit your financial aid application so your information will be as current as possible.
This form is your opportunity to indicate the amount of money you/your family can contribute toward the educational cost of your academic year here. Although it has Principia's name at the top, it is actually a standard government form and will become an important part of your visa documentation. If you reference money in a bank account, you need to take the form to the bank and have an official either stamp it or write a two-sentence letter on bank letterhead saying that you (your family) maintain an account at the bank and the indicated funds are available.
