Make a pre-Christmas date with StudyLink

Hon Jo Goodhew

Associate Minister for Social Development
8 October 2015 Media Statement
Make a pre-Christmas date with StudyLink

Associate Social Development Minister Jo Goodhew is urging students to apply for their 2016 student loans and allowances by 16 December.

“We are expecting over 200,000 applications for the 2016 academic year,” says Mrs Goodhew. “Thebest way students can make their enrolment as smooth as possible is by applying by the 16 December target date.”

“By applying before 16 December, students will allow enough time for all the steps in the application process to be completed before courses start.”

Mrs Goodhew says current Year 13 students should apply now too.

“They don’t need to have their NCEA results or have locked down all their plans,’ says Mrs Goodhew.

“Their application can be updated as things are confirmed. It’s more important to allow enough time for all the steps in the application process to be completed.”

Students can find out more about applying for a student loan and allowance on the StudyLink website (www.studylink.govt.nz) and can also track the progress of their application online using their MyStudyLink account.

Gordon Campbell: On The New Government’s Policies Of Yesteryear

He also plays a less heralded, but equally important role as the scapegoat who can be blamed for killing taxes that his senior partners never much wanted in the first place. Neither Ardern nor Robertson for example, really wanted a capital gains tax, for fear of Labour copping the “tax and spend“ label they ended up being saddled with anyway. Usefully though, they could tell the party faithful it was wicked old Winston who killed the CGT. More


 
 
Public Housing Futures: Christmas Comes Early For Landlords

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More


Green Party: Petition To Save Oil & Gas Ban

“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More

PSA: MFAT Must Reverse Decision To Remove Te Reo

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru.
