With that offer, you will only be required to pay what Texas residents are paying in tuition. You will not pay as international student, but as Texas resident. So, to know your tuition per semester, go to the tuition and cost section on the school website. Whatever you see there as in-state tuition is what you pay every semester. Also, this will be stated on your i-20. Congrats!

So I just gotta my admission letter and I got partial scholarship of 10k per year. I have a deficit of about 35k for Fall 2020 .

Do I need an SOA for my Visa interview and the school is offering loan options, is that a safe path to thread?

Dgreatestt:
Hi, good morning,

I think you should mail your GC, and keep doing them a reminder. My admission came over 3weeks ago, while I just received my assistantship last Saturday (29/02/2020)

Don't give up

Hello house,

I received my SOA from my bank via email pdf and it's not stamped. Can I upload this to complete my school admission process?

Hello everyone, to Jesus be my glory..lol...I finally have breathed a sigh of rest after being on AP for 38days..I had my interview on the 21st of June 2019, Status updated on 25th July 2019, Visa issued 29th July 2019. This has been the longest wait of my life people, I was floating and I thought out everything and anything possible, but in the end, it ended in praise.

Deficit on I-20 form is $5k
Full Grad Assistanship with stipend 16k
Personal funding $5.5k
Uncles SOA $44k.

My interview goes thus;
White lady, window 5, Abuja Embassy.

Me: passed it.

ME:I will be tutoring biology specifically and conducting workshops at the CAS.
VO: what will this course do for you?
Me: A masters degree in comm health from a recognised institution like MNSU in the US will undoubtedly increase my chances of being promoted to the Head position in the public health department of my organisation when I come back to Nigeria.Also, having being equipped with an indept knowledge in public health and with recent epidemiological tools/methodology, I will be able to secure gainful employment in Govt health institutions ( Federal or state) and NGO'S ( like the Renowed Benjamin Franklin Foundation) providing comprehensive Health care Services to reduce the health burden in epidemic and epidemic-prone communities in Nigeria.
