The Government decided to conclude Fees Free for the first year of study or training at the end of 2024. From 2025, Fees Free covers the final year of study or training for the first provider-based qualification or work-based programme an eligible learner completes.
If you are a first-time tertiary learner in 2025, you may be able to get Fees Free for your final year of study or training. If you are eligible, you will need to apply for your entitlement through IRD from 2026 onwards.
For more information about the transition from first-year Fees Free or the final-year Fees Free policy, visit FeesFree.govt.nz.
