Help with fees

Are you Eligible for Free Fees?

There are two ways you can take advantage of free fees. One is through Toi Ohomai’s range of free courses. These are separate to the government’s ‘fees free’ initiative so you don’t need to check your eligibility in relation to fees – simply apply in the normal way and we’ll take it from there.

The other is through the government’s ‘fees free’ initiative: If you’re starting tertiary study for the first time you might be eligible for a year’s worth of free fees. Find out more in our FAQ about the government’s fees free initiative.

Student Loans and Allowances

This course meets the requirements for student allowance and student loan applications through StudyLink.

A student loan helps to pay for your course fees (the compulsory fees), study materials e.g. books, equipment, and living costs. You'll have to pay this money back.
A student allowance is a weekly payment that can help with your living expenses while you’re studying. You don't have to pay the money back.
