Student Loans Jan - Mar (First quarter only)
These figures are cumulative year-to-date figures.
Therefore, the Jan - Dec figures are the relevant calendar year figures in the annual statistics table.
For the purpose of these tables, a student is defined as a person who received at
least one payment from StudyLink in the calendar year, up to the month specified.
Percentage figures may not add to exactly 100% because of rounding effects.
All percentages are rounded to the nearest percent.
Five years of data are presented, earlier figures are included in the downloadable spreadsheets.
