Financial Information

​A Financial Resource Statement is required that verifies the ability of the student or the student's sponsor to meet all educational and living expenses for one year while attending DMACC. This must be signed and sealed by a notary public and accompanied by a letter or bank statement from the student or the student's financial sponsor, dated within six months of the application. The letter or bank statement need to show at least $20,000 (USD).

A refundable deposit of $4,000 (USD) is also required. This deposit is required for new or transfer F-1 students at DMACC and must be paid before course registration takes place. It may not be used to pay educational expenses. When the student completes their studies at DMACC, any remaining amount of the deposit, less any outstanding tuition or fees, will be refunded to the student.

Listed below are the estimated costs for one year. Careful planning will help to make a successful college experience.

Financial aid through DMACC is not available for international students. It may be possible to find scholarship assistance through personal research.
