Yes, estimated budgets for studying abroad usually include both tuition fees and living expenses.

- Tuition fees cover your course costs and vary by country, university, and program.
- Living expenses include accommodation, food, transportation, and personal costs. For example, in the UK, typical living expenses are around £1,300 - £1,400/month in London and £900 - £1,300/month elsewhere (subject to change).
- Additional costs like visa fees, health insurance, and study materials are also important to factor in.

Make sure your financial planning covers all these areas for a realistic budget. If you need help estimating your total costs, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
