Student Living Costs Loan

If you are not eligible for a student allowance, then you may apply to Studylink for a Student Living Costs Loan.

If you have some income and are not eligible for the full student allowance, you can apply for a living cost loan to top up your weekly income. Remember that you have to pay back the living cost loan when you are in employment, so we recommend that you keep this loan to a minimum.

Course Related Costs Loan

You may apply to StudyLink for a Course Related Costs Loan as soon as your student fees have been paid. This will be paid directly into your bank account. Ask at our administration office for a list of course related costs.
