Student allowances
Student allowances assist New Zealand students in financial need who are enrolled in a recognised full-time course of study. International students, and students who have had Permanent Residency status for less than two years, are not eligible. A student allowance is a grant and does not need to be repaid, unlike a student loan. Other income may affect your eligibility for an allowance.

Student loans
To be eligible for a student loan you must be a New Zealand citizen or have been granted Permanent Resident status.

You must be studying full-time for a minimum of 12 weeks, or part-time for a full year, at an approved tertiary institution.

You may apply for tuition fees, course-related costs (for example, books, stationery and travel) and living costs (living costs are not available to part-time students). Applications for loans should be made at least one month before study begins.

Loans need to be repaid and may accrue interest. The Inland Revenue Department provides more information about Student Loan interest.

Visit the Inland Revenue Department website

StudyLink provides more information and online application forms for loans and allowances. Students are advised to apply early.
