Study Fees Free
Under the New Zealand Government's Fees-Free plan, you could study the last year of our bachelor programmes or any diploma programme for free!
To confirm your eligibility, you'll need to go to the Fees-Free website and enter your National Student Number (NSN). The Fees-Free website will also have instructions on what to do if you do not know or have an NSN.
What does fees-free cover?
Fees-free covers:
- Tuition fees
- Course costs, and
- Student services fees
Fees-free does not cover other optional and occasional fees.
How do I apply?
Visit the Fees-Free website to check your eligibility for Provider Based Study, enter your NSN and follow the prompts.
Not Eligible?
If you've entered your NSN on the fees-free website and you get a 'no' as an eligibility status, you might still be available for one of our current scholarships.
And if not, you can still apply for a Student Loan or Allowance on the StudyLink website.
If you get an 'unknown' eligibility status, but meet the eligibility criteria, you'll need to submit a statutory declaration. More information about statutory declarations are on the Fees-free website.
