Sentence help with words

Is this sentence written correctly, I am not sure about the last part:

I am no longer sponsored so I have to study the last semester with/from/in my own expenses.

Also, is expenses the correct word, as if I am the one to pay my tuition fees.
  

Top answer

No. Say eg I am no longer sponsored so I have to study the last semester at my own expense. Sponsor may not be the correct word.

No. I just had a scholarship from my country

So only the word 'at' is possible?

Yes.

We don't normally use the word 'sponsored' if you have a scholarship. We just say 'I have a scholarship'.
eg I no longer have a scholarship so I have to study the last semester at my own expense.

Think of it as like a scholarship for post-gradate work in research or/and teaching.
