Financial assistance for Open Universities Australia units and FEE-HELP
On 1 January 2005, a new Commonwealth loan scheme, FEE-HELP, was introduced.
FEE-HELP replaces the Open Learning Deferred Payment Scheme (OLDPS).
FEE-HELP provides eligible fee paying students with a loan to cover all or part of their tuition fees.
FEE-HELP is available to eligible students for both undergraduate and postgraduate units of study done through Open Universities Australia. To access FEE-HELP you must meet all eligibility requirements and complete the Request for FEE-HELP assistance - Open Universities Australia form. This form is available from Open Universities Australia. Once completed and signed, the form must be returned to Open Universities Australia.
