To apply to WESLI, you will need to submit 4 items:

2. An application form: You can either apply online or send the PDF form by mail or email (study@wesli.com).

For example: If you are studying 1 month of General English, you need to show at least $3450 USD. Longer stays or programs with more study hours per week will require a higher minimum balance on your financial documentation. (We can help you determine how much you need to show.)

• OR a copy of your parents’ or other sponsor’s bank statement AND a signed letter stating that this person or institution will pay for your tuition and living expenses.
• OR a letter from your government or its scholarship agency saying they will pay for your tuition and living expenses.
