Starting tertiary study for the first-time? You may be able to get Fees Free for the final year of your qualification. When you enrol for your study or training you will still need to pay your fees. To help you cover this cost you may wish to apply for a Student Loan through StudyLink.
- Fees Free is only available for the first qualification or programme you complete at Levels 3 and above.
- Fees Free can only be used once. You can't have already used the first-year or final-year fees free schemes.
- If you have a Student Loan, your Fees Free entitlement will go towards paying off your Student Loan.
For more information and to check if you meet the residency and prior study and training criteria please see feesfree.govt.nz/final-year.
