Yes, you must show proof of both living expenses and tuition fees when applying for a UK Student visa.

- Tuition fees: Show funds for one academic year, as stated on your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS).
- Living expenses: Show funds for up to 9 months - £1,334/month if studying in London, £1,023/month outside London.

These amounts are current requirements and must be held for at least 28 consecutive days before your application. Rules and amounts are subject to change.

If you need help calculating the exact amount or preparing documents, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
