International Graduate Financial Information 2024-2025
The Office of International Services (OIS) has prepared this document to inform you of the financial
requirements to receive a student visa document (Form I-20 or Form DS-2019).
After you have been admitted to your program and accepted your offer of admission, your academic
department will notify OIS. The federal government requires OIS to verify that you can support yourself
financially in the United States during your academic program before we can create your Form I-20 or DS-
2019.
OIS will contact you via email and request you to upload digital versions of financial documentation,
along with other information, via the My OIS
online portal.
Do not send financial documentation to OIS until after you have been contacted directly by OIS about
your admission to Pitt. Do not send personal financial documentation to your school.
How to use this document:
• Review the Financial Documentation Requirements on page 1.
• Find your specific program’s estimated cost of attendance on pages 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
• Gather the required documentation, and then upload it via the e-form in My OIS that OIS has
instructed you to submit.
• Contact [email protected]
with questions about financial requirements.

Bank statements or letters, savings accounts, loan
documentation, stocks/bonds that are available for
immediate withdrawal without penalty
Acceptable documentation

• list the currency used, and total amount available (OIS can convert the currency to U.S. dollars)
• list the specific date that the documentation was written or printed
o all documents must be issued within the past six (6) months
• list your name, or the specific name of your financial sponsor
• Note: you can submit multiple sources of financial documentation to meet your program’s estimated

• each sponsor must prepare an Attestation of Financial Support
:
o each sponsor must list the specific amount of financial support that they will provide
o each sponsor must physically sign this form; typing in a signature is not acceptable
o you must also sign the Attestation of Financial Support, and upload it to the proper My OIS e-form
Dependents (spouse and/or unmarried children under 21 years old who will live with you in the U.S.):
• You must provide an additional $6,725 per dependent
• Amount determined by 125% of the Department of Health & Human Services’ estimate

School of Medicine First Professional Program
Cost of Attendance Figures for 2024-2025
International students accepted for admission to the School of Medicine will be required to deposit into
escrow with the University of Pittsburgh’s Student Payment Center a sum equal to the total cost of
education for their first two years of medical school with documented support of the ability to pay their
final two years. This deposit is a requirement of the School of Medicine.
The current escrow amount for two years of medical education at the University of Pittsburgh
School of Medicine is approximately $192,000 USD. Any scholarships awarded to the applicant from
the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine will be subtracted from the total amount required in
escrow for the two years. No interest will be paid to the student on the funds that are in escrow.
The Office of International Services will issue the Form I-20 only after the deposit of $192,000
has been made to the Student Payment Center
.
