Yes, you can finance your UK studies using a combination of personal savings and educational loans. For your student visa, you must show that you have enough funds to cover your tuition fees for one academic year (as per your CAS) and your living expenses - either £1,529 per month for London or £1,171 per month outside London, up to nine months. Both savings and loans from recognized institutions are accepted, as long as you clearly document each source. Remember, your funds must be held for 28 consecutive days before applying for your visa, and all documents must meet UKVI requirements. Please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for help reviewing your financial documents.
