Student Loans and Allowances
If you have been living in New Zealand for at least three years and have held a residence class visa for three years, you can apply for student loans and allowances from the Ministry of Social Development to cover your tuition fees, programme-related costs and living expenses.
A student loan can help finance your study, but you must pay it back.
If you are studying full-time, you can get:
- compulsory tuition fees
- programme-related costs
- living costs.
A student allowance is a weekly payment that you do not have to pay back.
