STUDENT ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES

1 – Students who plan to attend Mentora College must receive an F-1 student visa from their local U.S. embassy.

2 – An I-20 is the official non-immigrant document that a student takes to the U.S. embassy to apply for the F-1 student visa.

3 – A bank statement is required by the student or the student’s sponsor as part of the program application process.

Mentora College issues an I-20 to students who qualify for a full-time program and can show sufficient funding for the program fees and living expenses.
If you have any questions about the Form I-20, speak with our DSO or email info@mentoracollege.edu.

You will need the form I-20 for any of the following:
