We assisted students to overcome barriers to education and training
We want to ensure that all New Zealanders can get the information and services they need to overcome the social and financial barriers to accessing education and training.
Our StudyLink service connects people who are thinking about tertiary study with the information and support they need to make considered decisions and overcome those barriers.
Our financial support programmes are:
- Student Loans: to help students finance their tertiary study
- Student Allowances: to help students meet their day-to-day living costs while they complete their tertiary education
- Jobseeker Support Student Hardship: to support students during their study vacation periods as they look for work.
Our non-financial support programmes are:
- Promotion and Education: to help people achieve their education goals, by ensuring they are aware of their full support entitlements
- Student Job Search: an employment portal that has placed over 27,500 students into jobs, generating around $95.7 million of income for students.
