Please Note

1. International Student Information: The Government of the United States requires proof of support before accepting any student from another country into the U.S. Such support can come as a written affidavit from friends or organizations from your home country, or if you have relatives or friends living in the U.S. who are willing to support your educational endeavors, they can forward such promise to the College and it will be received. There is no federal or state financial aid available for international students. Florida Christian College has no scholarship money available for foreign students with the occasional exception of missionaries and their families.

FCC is under the authority of the United States Government to have verification of proof of support before it can issue the I-20 form to foreign students. This I-20 form is needed to come into the U.S. and to obtain a foreign student visa. FCC will only accept payments made in the form of International Postal Money Orders. You must also have money in a local bank while attending school.

Florida Christian College is affiliated with the Independent Christian Churches and Churches of Christ. It is important to have the endorsement of a missionary that is known to the college. The missionary must know the student in the setting of his or her home nation and the endorsement must include the missionary's assessment of the student's plans for Christian service.

All foreign prospects must have money in a local bank for a return trip.
