Your higher education provider will set the tuition fee for your unit of study and the date by which payment of your fee is required. If you decide not to pay the full tuition fee up-front to your provider and you are eligible for FEE-HELP, you may:
- pay some of the tuition fee up-front and request a FEE-HELP loan for the remainder of the tuition fee; or
- request a FEE-HELP loan for the full tuition fee.
If you are entitled to FEE-HELP, the Australian Government will lend to you the amount of any tuition fee for your unit of study which has not been paid at the end of the census date for the unit. You must apply for a FEE-HELP loan before a FEE-HELP loan will be given to you (Requesting FEE-HELP assistance).
The Australian Government will pay the outstanding amount of your tuition fee direct to your provider on your behalf.
