What is an Affidavit of Support?

An Affidavit of Support is a certificate from your sponsor (e.g. your parents) that he/she supports you or your studies financially to a certain amount. Many colleges have a pre-filled form for this purpose. If this is not the case at your college, we have a sample letter for you.
