Sponsored Student Services understands that your updated financial support letters may take some time to gain from your sponsor because of the required outstanding documents. To help ensure that your financial support letter meets our requirements, the financial guarantee must be formally addressed to Missouri S&T, and must include the following information:

• Student’s name
• Duration of sponsorship validity
• Approved major and degree level
• List of expenses covered by the sponsor that should be invoiced
• Sponsor’s billing information, including contact name, mailing address, and email address

Invoices for tuition and fees will be sent directly to your sponsoring agency for payment. Personal charges to your student account are your responsibility. For payment schedules and information about late fees and finance charges, visit the Cashier’s Office website. 

If you are unable to provide a valid financial guarantee, you must submit a personal financial statement to maintain your immigration status.
