A student loan helps you pay your course fees, study materials, and living costs, but you will have to pay it back. You may not need a student loan for course fees if you apply for fees-free study. However, you will need to apply for a student loan if you want living costs or course-related costs.<\/span><\/p>\n A student allowance can help you with your living expenses while you are studying. It is similar to the student loan living cost, but you do not have to pay it back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you want to apply for a student loan and allowance, you will need to contact StudyLink separately when you enrol with us. We cannot apply on your behalf.
