FEE-HELP

FEE-HELP is a Commonwealth Government loan scheme for higher education students which is available to Australian citizens and residents with permanent resident humanitarian visas. Under this scheme students enrolling in the Bachelor, Master or Doctor of Ministry can obtain a loan to pay the tuition fees for these courses. The loan is paid back gradually thorough the Australian Tax Office when the income of the person taking out the loan reaches a certain threshold.

More information about FEE-HELP from the ACD Office or www.goingtouni.gov.au.
