BBVA is the usual route, which requires security, usually in the form of a house. CTC claim that Virgin are prepared to sponsor a select few "exceptional candidates" and guarantee the loan for them, like BA do. It's all very vague and nobody seems to know much about it, CTC included
Do you have to self-sponsor if you can (with Ba you don't)? What about if you can't raise the funds but your parents could, would Virgin help then? Does selection mean Virgin will help out, or could they turn round and refuse?
Maybe somebody who went to the Flyer event knows a bit more?
