power of attorney

The SFAI Global Programs Office recommends that all students studying abroad select a person to take care of their financial affairs while they are out of the country. This is done by assigning a Power of Attorney. Some instances when a Power of Attorney may be necessary are:

  • To receive checks made payable to you for educational expenses
  • To sign and deposit checks made payable to you
  • To handle issues related to your financial assistance
  • To access information in your student account and/or financial assistance files
  • To process banking transactions
  • To process insurance transactions
  • To pay bills
