Admission Requirements

Heartland currently accepts foreign students and does everything within its power to facilitate the admission of eligible foreign applicants. 


A foreign student makes application for admission to Heartland in the same manner as any other student with the additional need to meet certain requirements of the individual country plus the U.S. requirements for approval to study in this country.

 

In order for a foreign student to receive the necessary permissions to leave the country and enter the United States, the following must be accomplished:

  • Submit application with $25.00 in United States funds
  • Submit a Pastor’s recommendation for study at Heartland
  • Submit two personal references
  • Submit the medical/health questionnaire with proof of negative TB test
  • Submit high school transcript or equivalent with English translation of grades/levels attended, number of units completed, date of graduation, and signature of school official.
  • Submit all college and postsecondary schools attended with English translation of degree and dates.  To receive transfer credits the entire transcript must be translated and course scopes provided
  • Furnish satisfactory evidence as to character and an Affidavit of Support certifying the ability to meet all financial obligations in this country.  A sponsor must be prepared to assume any and all  financial shortages or to assume the expense of returning the foreign student to his country.  An on-campus job may be available to help defray the expense of college; however, a job cannot be guaranteed, and a job will not pay for the entire bill.
  • Provide evidence that the initial down payment can be made.
  • Provide proof of proficiency in the English language.  A test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required if English is not the national language.
    (Information on this exam may be obtained from:  Test of English as a Foreign Language, Box 889, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA)

 

 

 

 

Disclaimer

Heartland regrets that it is not able to provide scholarship, financial aid, or sponsorship assistance to foreign students nor is it able to guarantee an on-campus job. 

 

 

 

Acceptance

The foreign applicant, if accepted, will be provided with a letter of acceptance and an Immigration Form I-20 from the college.  The SEVIS I-20 form must be presented to the immigration authorities to receive permission to enter the  United States under an F-1 student status.  In addition, the SEVIS I-901 Form and $200 fee are required.
