A financial guarantee serves as a contract between the student, the sponsor, and ASU. It allows ASU to bill the Sponsor for the tuition and fees agreed upon in the document. The document itself typically includes your approved major and the length of the scholarship.
A sponsor may opt out of paying a specific charge, such as tuition and fees for online or hybrid courses, courses taken at another institution, or specific university fees. Charges not covered by your sponsorship will remain your financial responsibility.
