StudyLink is a New Zealand Government service provided by the Ministry of Social Development, supporting people to understand and manage financial assistance for study. Its website guides students through the choices available, explains how to apply, and helps them manage payments and obligations online. Support is organised around the student journey, from starting or returning to study through to managing finances while studying and understanding what happens after study ends.

StudyLink provides information and application services for Student Loans and Student Allowances, along with guidance on eligibility, payment rates, study costs, and course-related costs. Students can use online tools to check potential eligibility, apply for support, track application status, submit documents through Connect, and manage details through MyStudyLink. The service also offers information about declaring income, changes in study or personal circumstances, repayment obligations, and extra help for urgent or unexpected costs. Additional resources include forms, calculators, contact options, and guidance for students studying part-time or overseas.
