Initial I-20/DS-2019 Estimated Expenses
ISSS is currently processing I-20/DS-2019 requests for programs that begin in spring 2026. Funding amounts will be updated periodically, so please check back if a program's section is blank.
The amounts below are for I-20 and DS-2019 purposes. Funding amounts are specified for each academic program and differ depending a student's status at Emory (degree-seeking or non-degree seeking). Actual amounts may vary based on academic program specific fees and living preferences. When determining their estimated cost of attendance for their I-20/DS-2019 request, incoming students should confirm their student status (degree seeking or non-degree seeking) and add dependent expenses if applicable.
Students whose financial circumstances change after receiving their I-20 or DS-2019 should email newfjstudent@emory.edu immediately.
Degree-Seeking versus Non-Degree Seeking Students:
- Degree-seeking students earn a degree from Emory University after successful completion of their academic program. Most international students are degree-seeking.
- Non-degree seeking students do not earn a degree from Emory University and include exchange students and special populations (Bobby Jones Scholars, Emory-Tibet Program, etc.).
Dependents:
Students who will be accompanied by F-2 or J-2 dependents must add the following amounts to the estimated expenses below.
- Spouse: $8,400
- Children: $4,200 (per child)
Degree-Seeking F-1 and J-1 Students
Note I-20s/DS-2019s are not available for MRL and MRPL students. For MDiv students, I-20s/DS-2019s are only available for fully in-person students. Hybrid and online students are not eligible for an immigration document from Emory.
