University of Richmond Certification of Financial Responsibility

The following International Financial Certification is required for all applicants regardless of the financial contribution they plan to make towards their education. A complete form is necessary to render an admission decision.

The University of Richmond is need-aware in the admission process for non-U.S. citizens/non-U.S. permanent residents. Need-aware means that the University considers whether students have the financial resources to fund their studies for four years when making admissions decisions. Admission is very competitive for international students applying for financial aid, but if a student is admitted, the University will meet 100% of the student's demonstrated financial need.

Submission of this form will not impact an applicant's consideration for merit-based scholarships. All first-year applicants are considered for the Richmond Scholars Program regardless of citizenship provided that they apply by December 1. All first-year applicants are considered for the Presidential Scholarship, equal to one-third tuition, regardless of application submission date.

Based on the estimated total cost of attendance to attend the University of Richmond, do you have sufficient person funds or outside sponsorship to cover the complete cost of your education?
Given the approximate 3.5% increase in cost each year, the estimated cost for a four-year undergraduate degree is $380,250 (USD).

Yes

No

Estimated Costs (2025-26 Academic Year)	Amounts (U.S Dollars)
Tuition	$65,230
Housing and Food	$17,140
Health Insurance	$3,000
Personal and Travel Expenses	$9,820
Books and Supplies	$1,000
Total	$96,190

Costs are subject to increase each year. Included in the costs are travel expenses to and from the home country, in addition to any domestic travel during holiday breaks. Richmond requires international student to purchase health insurance.

Students on F-1 visas may work on campus part-time but should not expect to earn significant funds through this employment. Work is limited to a maximum of 20 hours per week. Therefore, students can earn spending money, but the earnings are not sufficient to be included in your anticipated education funding.

Form Submission Instructions

Applicants who are able to meet the full cost of attendance must submit this form as a part of their application for admission. Your application will remain incomplete without this completed form. You can send any questions you have about this form to intladm@richmond.edu.

To be considered for need-based aid, students must complete this form in addition to the CSS Profile online. Applicants may be eligible for a CSS Profile fee waiver after an initial review of their application is complete. Eligible students will be notified by email.
