A letter of financial support is a document that verifies that funding will be available for a person, unable to pay themselves, for a specific cost. For example, letters of financial support are very common in university and college applications. By sending along a letter of financial support with their application, a potential student can demonstrate that if they do get accepted to a certain program, they will have the funding available to pay tuition. A letter of financial support is usually accompanied by a few pieces of financial documents, usually issues from a bank, to verify the sponsors financial standing and actual ability to pay.
