Fees-free 2019
Fees-free tertiary study or training is now available for eligible learners.
If you’re a New Zealander or are ordinarily resident in New Zealand and were at school in 2017, 2018 or 2019 (other than as an adult student), you may qualify for the equivalent of one years’ fees-free provider-based study in 2019.
If you’re not a recent school leaver, and you’ve done less than half a year of tertiary study or training (whether in New Zealand or in any other country), you may also qualify.
Check your eligibility: If you know your National Student Number (NSN), see if you qualify for fees-free at feesfree.govt.nz.
Please note: Even if you are eligible for fees-free, you may still want to borrow course-related costs and living costs through a student loan. StudyLink's advice is to make your application before 16 December 2019.
