After Acceptance
The fall term begins in the middle of August and the spring term begins in the middle of January each year. Keep these start terms in mind as you go through the International Admissions process to allow time for application, transcript evaluations, potential admission, VISA wait times, and so on. You can refer to the Academic Catalog for exact start and end dates.
TFC offers academic scholarships upon traditional admission ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 per year. These scholarships are determined based on your past academic success. In addition to this, there are Church Matching Grants available to assist in your cost of attendance at TFC.
Once you have received your acceptance letter from Toccoa Falls College, you will need to provide proof of funds for the cost of attendance for one semester at TFC. Not sure what your specific cost of attendance is? Check out our Cost & Scholarships, contact your admissions counselor, or email admissions@tfc.edu. Proof of funds include bank statements from any person who is supporting you financially to attend TFC. These statements may be from a personal account, family, church, scholarship, or financial sponsor.
Once proof of funds are received, TFC will move forward with issuing an I-20 via mail or email pending approval. The I-20 establishes a SEVIS identification number for you and allows you to apply for a student VISA.
Student VISA applications require your I-20 identification number and payment of the I-901 SEVIS Fee. After completing your VISA application, you should schedule an interview with your designated US Embassy or Consulate. Please note that interview wait times vary in length from a few days to several months depending on your location. Be sure to bring all required materials to your interview appointment.
Keep in mind that Toccoa Falls College is only responsible for issuing the I-20 after admission alongside proof of funds and does not have any power, communication, or influence for VISA approval. For more information about the student VISA process, please visit Study in the States.
Toccoa Falls College does not offer medical insurance for students. While it is not a requirement for international students to have medical insurance, it is highly recommended. If you elect to carry medical insurance, you can search for a policy that meets your needs. Students in the past have searched through ISO and ISI. If you are a student athlete, please contact athletics@tfc.edu regarding your insurance requirements.
