• Commitment Fee: $150
• I-20 Processing Fee (for F-1 Visas): $200
• Estimated Annual Fees (Living arrangements, books, uniform, materials): $8000

All international students considered for acceptance to Bishop Brady must be sponsored by a placement agency or guardian, approved by the school, with an accessible representative in the United States. Students are expected to be represented by such an agency/guardian for the duration of their enrollment. All international students are required to live with a host family. Host families are paid a monthly stipend to cover room, board, and school transportation for the student.  This fee is negotiated between the host family and the family of the international student or their agent.

In addition to the tuition and host family fees, students will need to purchase appropriate school dress items and textbooks.

Bishop Brady will provide enrolling international students with their I-20 paperwork to obtain an F1 Visa. In order to receive the I-20, international students must submit a commitment form and/or enrollment contract along with the required tuition deposit, commitment fee, and a $200 I-20 processing fee. There is also a fee paid directly to SEVIS in order to authenticate your I-20.

The visa is active for a 10-month period between August 15 and June 15, covering the entirety of the academic year. The end date will be adjusted to accommodate snow days, if necessary. International students are responsible for arriving at school by August 15 and staying at school until all exams, retreats, student activities, and/or extracurricular commitments have been completed. It is the international student's responsibility to change vacation plans and plane reservations to comply with this requirement.
