If your scholarship stops while you are studying in the UK, it’s important to take immediate action, as it can affect your ability to continue your studies and maintain your student visa.

Key Implications and Steps to Take:

1. Impact on Tuition and Living Expenses

- Tuition Fees: If your scholarship was covering your tuition fees and it gets discontinued, you will be responsible for paying the remaining tuition directly to your university.
- Living Expenses: If your scholarship was providing a stipend for living costs and it stops, you will need to find alternative funding to support yourself.

2. Visa and UKVI Requirements

- The UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requires that all student visa holders have sufficient funds to support themselves (living expenses and tuition fees).
- If you cannot prove you have enough funds, your visa could be at risk.
- The financial requirements (from 11 November 2025) are:
- London: £1,529 per month (for up to 9 months)
- Outside London: £1,171 per month (for up to 9 months)

3. What Should You Do?

- Inform Your University: Contact your university’s international student support office immediately. They may be able to offer advice, payment extensions, or direct you to emergency funding options.
- Seek Alternative Funding: Consider applying for other scholarships, bursaries, student loans, or part-time work (within the limits of your student visa).
- Check Visa Conditions: If you are unable to secure new funding, your university is required to report this to UKVI, which could affect your visa status.
- Family Support: If possible, arrange financial support from family or sponsors.

4. University Support

- Many UK universities have hardship funds or emergency loans for students facing unexpected financial crises.
- Some universities may allow you to take a temporary break (“interruption of studies”) until your funding is sorted.
