See the current guidance:

This will be out of date soon.

If you are sponsoring them, then I suppose course fees and living costs could easily be £10K minimum each year. If you are providing accomodation then maybe this would be a bit less.

The applicant would also have to show that the sponsorship is credible. Also that you have that amount of spare cash.
