Can my close family sponsor my studies in Australia?

Question

I intend to pursue a masters programme in Australia but lack adequate finances as specified by the visa conditions. A close family friend has offered to assist me. Will I be granted a visa based on his committment(which will be backed by neccessary documentation). The immigration website has no such info.

Answer 1

There are never any guarantees of a successful visa application, however having a sponsor to support you and provide the necessary documentation with an affidavit of support will increase your chances of one.

Answer 2

A sponsor who can show the neccesary paperwork can offer to pay for the fees and support the student. It does mean that the sponsor needs to prepare a good case as to why he wished to sponsor the student.
