Financial Assistance
The purpose of financial assistance is to ensure that fees are not a barrier to participation in national qualifications for domestic students in low-to middle-income families.

Eligibility for benefit and income based financial assistance is based on Work and Income’s Community Services Card income limits.

Financial assistance applications must be made to schools using the Application for Financial Assistance form.

Online fee payments for outside school collection cycle
If students need to pay outside the school collection cycle (e.g. for mid-year University Entrance applications), they can pay online using their learner login.

Late fee payments
If any fees remain unpaid after 13 September, students must pay these directly to NZQA. These payments may be made online or by using the candidate fee payment form.

As in previous years, NZQA will write to students advising them of unpaid fees by November 2018.

Only when payment is received will NCEA and other results be officially released to the New Zealand Record of Achievement and used for qualifications.

New Zealand Scholarship candidates who have not paid their fees in full will be ineligible for a New Zealand Scholarship Award.

A late fee of $50 will be applied to all fees not paid by 3 December 2018.
