StudyLink Loans & Allowances

All Te Wānanga o Raukawa programmes are approved by NZQA and qualify for access to student loans (with the exception of fee free courses). The student loan can help finance your tuition fees, course-related costs and living costs. Student allowance and accommodation subsidy provide a living cost contribution to students who qualify.

Apply for a student loan or allowance as early as possible (mid-December the year prior) to avoid delays in processing your application and enrolment. Go online to the StudyLink website for information on how to apply for the student loan and student allowance. Sorted.org.nz has useful information about applying for and paying back a student loan.
