Yes, you can pay only the reduced tuition fees after your scholarship is applied, and separately cover the required living expenses.

For a UK Student visa, you must show proof of funds for:
- Remaining tuition fees (after subtracting your scholarship)
- Living expenses: typically £1,334/month (outside London) or £1,652/month (in London), up to 9 months

These funds must be in your bank account for at least 28 consecutive days before your visa application. The living expenses requirement is subject to change.

If you need help calculating your exact fund requirement, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
