question about financial sponsorship letter

[moto198]

Hi everyone

I am applying for Tier 4 student visa for a Master level course. I have two separate scholarships/sponsorships. One is to cover my tuition fee and the other is to cover my living costs (maintenance). I have two letters from each of the organizations offering me these scholarships. In the UKVI guide to supporting document, it is said that the sponsorship letters should bear an official stamp of the organization. However, one of these foundations which is based in the US can only give me an official letter on a letter-headed paper with signature of their director but not stamp. They say that their organization does not have any stamps. Everything else is fine with their letter, it is on the official stationary of the organization, with letter head and all the contact details, their website, their registration number, etc. The letter is signed by their director but just no stamp. I am really stressing out that the UKVI might not accept the letter. Does anyone have any related experience?

I also have enough money in my personal account to cover the tuition and can present a bank statement and list myself as a self-funded student when it comes to tuition. I have already informed the university of the sponsorship, so if I decide to apply with my own financial evidence I don't know if there would be a problem.

What do you suggest? Am I stressing without reason? or is the stamp really important?

Thank you!

Am I stressing without reason?

Yes.

or is the stamp really important?

Yes but as you say, you have the required amount of money in your own name anyway, so you don't need to use the letter with the missing stamp in your Tier 4 application.
