If I get a scholarship of ten lakhs, do I have to pay the remaining amount for my studies abroad in UK for a Master's?
Yes, you will likely still owe the remaining balance after a 10 lakh rupee scholarship, since UK master's tuition alone runs £16,000 to £40,000, with living costs adding £1,171 to £1,529 a month. Your visa needs shortfall proof held 28 consecutive days unless your letter confirms full coverage.
A 10 lakh rupee scholarship is a real help, but you will almost certainly still owe the remaining balance for your UK master's, since tuition alone can run far higher than that. Your visa application will also need to show you can cover whatever your scholarship does not.
What A 10 Lakh Scholarship Actually Covers
| Cost Item | Typical UK Amount |
|---|---|
| Tuition fees (1-year master's) | £16,000 to £40,000+ depending on university and course |
| Living costs outside London | Around £1,171 per month |
| Living costs in London | Around £1,529 per month |
| UKVI required proof for 9 months | £10,539 to £13,761 in living funds |
What Your Visa Needs To See
- If your scholarship letter covers full tuition and a living stipend, it can satisfy your visa's financial requirement entirely.
- If it is a partial award, your CAS will show the exact unpaid tuition balance you must prove funds for.
- Alternative funds, savings, loans, or parental support, must be held for 28 consecutive days before you apply.
My Advice
Take your scholarship letter to your counsellor and confirm in writing whether it is tuition-only or a full package, then we can calculate the exact shortfall your CAS will show and line up your 28-day fund evidence well before your visa appointment.
