New Zealand Career College (NZCC) programmes are approved for student loans and allowances. StudyLink is responsible for the administration of Student Allowance and Student Loans in tertiary institutions. To apply for or find out if you are eligible to apply for an Unemployment Benefit Student Hardship, Student Loan or Student Allowances, please contact StudyLink directly on 0800 889 900 or email StudyLink@msd.govt.nz. Please contact StudyLink to lodge your application as soon as you have been accepted into your programme of study. The Student Loan scheme is designed to assist students to meet their expenses while studying, regardless of their employment or family circumstances. To gain a Student Loan, you must be a New Zealand citizen or have been granted permanent resident status here, and be enrolled in a programme of study approved for student loans by the Ministry of Education. You must either be full-time in the programme, or be studying part-time (at least 15 hours per week) over a period of 32 weeks or more.
Student Allowances are for full-time students who are on an approved study course at a recognised institution. New Zealand Career College programmes are approved for student allowances for students that meet the StudyLink eligibility criteria.
The Unemployment Benefit Student Hardship is for full-time students who cannot find work during the holidays. It is only short-term support. There are set criteria students have to meet to qualify.
Visit the StudyLink website to apply for your student loan/allowance. NZCC's Institution code is 7640.
