More help if you're Thinking About Study

27 April 2010

Whether you're leaving school, the parent of a school leaver, a beneficiary or thinking of retraining, our new Thinking About Study section is the best place to start.

In this section you will find lots of useful information and ideas to help you make the decision to study and work out how you'll pay for it.

It includes video clips of real students talking about student life and money as well as a calculator that will help you understand how much you may need to support yourself as a student.

Parents of students can read about how their income affects the Student Allowance and how they can help their children make the right decisions about tertiary study and student finance.

You will also find information about how going to study can affect any benefit you may be receiving.
