If I get a fully funded scholarship covering tuition fees, do I still need to bear living costs separately?
Yes, even with a fully funded scholarship that covers tuition fees, you usually need to pay for your living expenses separately.
Some scholarships offer a monthly stipend for living costs - for example, the Commonwealth Scholarship provides £1,378/month outside London and £1,690/month in London (subject to change). However, this may not cover all your expenses, especially in high-cost cities.
Plan your finances carefully and be prepared for additional living costs during your studies. If you need help understanding your scholarship coverage, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
