Sorting the money for study

Here are some helpful steps to funding your study.

  • Check if you can get a Student Allowance, and how much you could receive.
  • At the same time, check if you are eligible for other kinds of help - use our What you can get tool.
  • Look around for a scholarship.
  • Check where else you could get money from to help pay for your study or to live. Will your family help?
  • Add in any income from work, during holidays and term time.
  • Get a Student Loan if you need one, but only borrow as much as you need.
  • Apply online to StudyLink as soon as you can. You can apply early even if you don't know for certain where or what you're going to study (but when you do, let us know).

If you're continuing study after you leave school, you're going to have a lot of choices to make. Take our online reality check to get you on your way. Will it be broadband and baked beans? Dial-up and dining out? Hear from students about their experiences and get yourself Sussed.

Sussed reality check is a tool to help you plan and understand the costs you will have while studying and the different ways you might be able to pay for it.
