After you are accepted for admission and have filed your CSS Profile—or notified Northwestern’s international admissions and financial aid counselor that you don’t intend to file a CSS Profile—you will receive your Financial Aid Award summarizing your estimated costs and institutional aid for the year. (Northwestern’s CSS code is 6490.)

To enroll and receive the Form I-20 that you will need to apply for an F-1 Student Visa, you will need to provide Northwestern with the following:

Sign your Financial Certification Form and return it to Northwestern's international admissions and financial aid counselor.

Acquire and make copies of original financial documents that verify you have sufficient funds available for at least your first year of study.

• Your documentation can be a recent bank statement or a letter from your bank that states a specific amount in your account. (Letters that simply state that you have sufficient funds without specifying an amount are not adequate.)
• If you are depending on a sponsor who is not a family member, we will need a signed statement from the sponsor that specifies the amount they expect to provide for your studies each year, with supporting bank statements.
• Email copies of your financial documents to Northwestern at intl@nwciowa.edu. Keep the original documents with you to present at your visa interview.

Your deposit includes a $200 housing deposit and $4,800 for your first Northwestern College payment. If you are in the United States, you can send a check to the Northwestern College Business Office, 101 7th Street SW, Orange City, IA 51041.
