How StudyLink can help you
There are a number of ways in which StudyLink can help you pay for your study.
You’ll need to apply early for a Student Loan and/or Allowance with StudyLink so you can get everything sorted in time, including your payments.
StudyLink may be able to help with:
- compulsory course fees
- course-related costs (e.g. books, laptop, etc.)
- day-to-day living costs
- other costs (e.g. disability or childcare)
How much you can get depends on your age, income and course type. For more information visit their website www.studylink.govt.nz or call them on 0800 88 99 00
Student Loan
Student Loan can help with paying for your course fees (the compulsory fees charged by your education provider), study materials (e.g. books, computer, travel) and living costs, but you'll have to pay it back.

Student Allowance
A Student Allowance is a weekly payment that can help with your living expenses while you’re studying, and if you're eligible you don’t have to pay the money back.
