PART IV: ESTIMATED ANNUAL EXPENSES
Immigration regulations require Cooper Union to verify that students seeking F-1 status have sufficient funds to support their studies for the
duration of their academic program. This includes both tuition and living expenses. We estimate living expenses to be approximately
$20,165 per year. We look to see readily available funds for at least the first year of study and proof of financial capability to cover future
years of study. Be sure to review our tuition and fees online to determine how much financial support you will need to complete your
program.
Your financial support can come from any combination of the following sources in the United States or abroad. We do strongly
recommend that at least a portion of your financial support comes from your home country. This can be very important in your ability to
obtain an F-1 visa.
□ Financial support or funding from “sponsors” (parents, guardians, relatives, friends, business, and organizations)
□ Free room & board
□ Government funding
□ Scholarship
□ Personal funding from your own personal bank account

yearly for materials and supplies

Cooper’s insurance plan, but can
waive the plan with comparable
insurance.
