The ESLI admits students who have the financial ability to pay for their studies. Each applicant must complete the necessary application for admission to the ESLI. The individual or entity assuming the responsibility for the scholar is required to complete the Statement of Financial Guarantee and the Financial Certificate.

Prospective students must complete the written application prior to the issuance of Form I-20 as required by the U.S. Immigration Service. Exceptions are applications made for a scholarship student by an official agency of the student’s government. Students receiving scholarship from governments or sponsoring agencies should provide a separate Statement of Financial Guarantee.

Application should be received at least thirty days prior to the beginning of the session. The application should be accompanied by a check or money order for $ 50.00 payable to the ESLI. The application fee is applied to tuition cost. This fee is non-refundable and is not transferable.
