Key Things Nepalese Students Must Remember

- Financial documents must show consistent savings history — not just a single large deposit before applying
- Funding must cover all years of study, not just Year 1
- Do not create a new Kaplink account if you need to change your location, intake, or course — email the KBS Admissions team directly to avoid duplication and delays
