Check your eligibility for Fees Free!

Study or train fees-free

If you’re planning to start tertiary study or training for the first time you may be eligible for fees-free.

If you’re a New Zealander or are ordinarily resident in New Zealand and were at school in 2017, 2018 or 2019 (other than as an adult student), you may qualify for the equivalent of one year's fees-free provider-based study or two years’ industry training.

If you’re not a recent school leaver, and you’ve done less than half a year of tertiary study or training (whether in New Zealand or in any other country), you may also qualify.
