We welcome applications from international students and want to make your application process as smooth as possible.
It is to your advantage to plan ahead and submit your application and required admission materials early.
Application Requirements
Financial Support
We strongly recommend that you review and the
"Information Regarding Financial Support Requirements & Certification of Financial Responsibility"
so you understand the costs associated with enrolling at the University of Pittsburgh, as financial aid and
scholarships are not available to international students.
Proof of financial support is not required at the point of application complete, but it is required of students
who are offered admission and plan to enroll at Pitt.
Mailing Address
Mail your required documents and forms to:
Office of Admissions and Financial Aid
4227 Fifth Avenue, Alumni Hall
Pittsburgh, PA 15260-6601, U.S.A.

Or, you can send them as an e-mail attachment to intladm@pitt.edu.
Please use your full legal name in your e-mail, exactly as it appears on your passport, so we can
properly match your documents with your application.
Other Tips for Submitting Your Application
To ensure proper and efficient processing of your application, keep these tips in mind:
-
Use Your Full Legal Name on All Documents. It is extremely important that you use your full
legal name, exactly as it appears on your passport, when completing your admissions, TOEFL, SAT/ACT applications.
Be sure to also print this same full legal name clearly on all of your application materials (application fee,
test scores, Certification of Financial Responsibility Form, academic records, etc.).
We will not be able to issue the necessary immigration documents if the name you provide on your application is
different from your name as it appears on your passport.
-
Do Not List a Post Office Box as Your Permanent Foreign Address. In order for the Office of
International Services to issue your I-20 form, the permanent home address listed on your application for
admission must be a foreign physical address. When completing your application, be sure to provide a foreign
street address (not a P.O. Box) as your permanent home address.
- Use the Correct Mailing Address. Send all materials to:
Office of Admissions and Financial Aid
4227 Fifth Avenue, Alumni Hall
Pittsburgh, PA 15260-6601, U.S.A.
