VET FEE-HELP
What is VET FEE-HELP?
VET FEE-HELP is a loan scheme for the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector that is part of the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP). VET FEE-HELP assists eligible students undertaking certain VET courses of study (e.g. diploma, advanced diploma courses).
It allows students to borrow funds up to their FEE-HELP limit to help pay for all or part of their tuition fees.
Students who access VET FEE-HELP assistance will have a loan with the Australian Government who will, on the studen'ts behalf, pay their tuition fees to their approved VET provider.
