UK Student Visa Query: Guardian's Bank Statements for Postgrad Studies?

Hey everyone! I'm over 18 and applying for a UK student visa for postgrad studies. Do I need to provide my own bank statements, or can my guardian's suffice? Thanks!

Hi there. We do not deal with student Visas at SFE. However, we can help with eligibility. What course are you looking to study for postgraduate? What is you nationality and status in the UK? How long have you been living in the UK? When does your course start? Thanks, Leah.

Hi there. You would not be eligible to apply for the postgraduate funding from SFE unless you have a valid status in the UK. A student visa would not be considered an eligible status. You can check out our eligibility criteria here: https://www.gov.uk/masters-loan/eligibility

Thanks, Leah.
