Fees Free Study

Fees Free tertiary study in 2023

If you’re looking to study with us for the first time, you may be eligible for fees free support. 

Are you eligible for the fees free study?

To receive fees free support, you'll need to meet the relevant eligibility criteria and be enrolled in an eligible course.

To check your eligibility for Provider Based Study, you'll need to go to the Government 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.

Check your eligibility.

 

Eligibility results

Once you've entered your NSN, you’ll receive one of the following results:

  • Yes – you're eligible for fees free
  • No – you're not eligible for fees free
  • Maybe – not sure if your eligible for fees free

If you get a no as an eligibility status, you can still apply for a Student Loan or Allowance. For more information on Student Loans and Allowances visit the StudyLink website

Those who get a maybe eligibility status, but meet the eligibility criteria, need to complete and submit a statutory declaration for Provider Based Study to be eligible for fees free. Instructions for completing the statutory declaration form are on the Fees Free website.
