Cash Value of Room and Board
A student who is provided with free room and board by a relative or close friend living near the school will not need money for housing. (Student must submit an affidavit of free room and board.) Therefore, a student who presents an affidavit of free room and board will need only $7,492 in cash support. Free room and board has a cash value of $4,200.

Family Expense Allocation
A student planning to bring a spouse or children in F-2 status, or who currently has F-2 family with them in the United States must show an additional $4,000 of income per year to support the spouse and an additional $2,500 of income per year for each child.
