International Students
and the
Financial Certificate

Financial certificate and supporting bank statement(s) are required for all graduate applications. Students can obtain and attach statements from numerous relatives' banks stating amount available for student. Funds can be identified in native currency with a statement of exchange equivalency in U.S. dollars. Funds do not have to be moved into one account or converted into U.S. dollars

Our MPAc Council may review your application without the financial certificate, but it cannot be forwarded to the university College of Graduate Studies office without the completed certificate and accompanying bank statements

If the department approves the application, then the College of Graduate Studies reviews the application and will notify the student of formal acceptance to the university with a letter accompanied by an I-20 form.

Students are not eligible to apply for any U.S. federal aid or financial aid through the MSU Financial Aid Office. If the student has a relative who has a "permanent resident" status in the US, they may co-sign on a student loan.

The student may work on campus at a maximum of 20hrs/wk in Fall or Spring semesters and 40 hrs/wk in the summer term.

The only financial aid available to international students is a departmental scholarship or a Teaching Assistantship. (Students may not check the 3rd box if dependent on the department to provide funds, but may check it if a sponsor is utilized.)

The College of Business offers only a few, small, merit-based scholarships to international graduate students. Application for these scholarships is done only over the Internet through our web site during the month of February only. A student must have at least a preliminary application on file with us in order to be considered for a scholarship. The financial certificate must be completed in its entirety regardless of a pending scholarship application.

There are only a few (2-3) graduate teaching assistantships available and it is a highly competitive process. The interested student must 1) be fully admitted to the MPAc program, 2) receive a minimum passing grade of 50 on the Test of Spoken English (TSE), 3) must receive a TOEFL score of 580 (paper test) or 237 (computer test), 4) receive a GMAT verbal score of at least 29 (or a GRE verbal score of at least 480) verified by official score reports.
