Yes, you must show proof of funds during your visa application, even if you have a partial scholarship or no scholarship.

For each country, the typical requirements are:

- Germany: Show about €11,904 for one year (usually via a blocked account or a sponsorship letter).
- Italy: Show about €13,572 for one year (accepted forms include a bank statement, sponsorship letter, or official scholarship letter).
- Netherlands: Show about €13,569.24 for one year (proof can be a bank statement, deposit to your university, or sponsorship letter).

These amounts and accepted documents are subject to change. Make sure your financial documents are recent and meet the specific format requested by the respective embassy.
