Studying part-time
If you’re studying part-time, we may still be able to help.
We use a measurement called EFTS (Equivalent Full-time Student) to work out if you're studying part-time or full-time.
What you can get
If you’re studying part-time, you may only be able to get a Student Loan for compulsory course fees unless you can be classed as a full-time student.
What you need to do
Apply online for a Student Loan for fees (if you haven't already).
You may also be able to get:
- help with accommodation costs
- a benefit from Work and Income
- a scholarship
- help with other costs
