How can I apply for a student visa in New Zealand before I get my scholarship letter from the university?

I have been accepted into a course at a New Zealand university, which will start soon, but I'm still waiting for a scholarship letter to show I have sufficient financial means. Is there a way I could apply for a student visa before I get the scholarship letter?

    For student visas, you must provide evidence to show that you have enough money to support yourself while you study in New Zealand, including tuition fees, living expenses, insurance and travel expenses for at least 1 year of study. If you have received a scholarship, then you must attach the evidence of scholarship approval by your education institution and evidence of finance you have to meet beyond the scholarship amount for your study.

    In my opinion, the answer is yes, and I would recommend professional assistance.
