Is a New Zealand citizen eligible for a student loan if studying university in Australia?
I am a new zealand citizen and am looking to study university in australia next year. I was just wondering if I am eligible for a student loan for the australian government or do i have to pay full fees up front? Cheers.

As an NZer - you only have to pay the local fees BUT you have to pay them up front (you are not eligible for the HECS loan scheme). So No - you cannot get a loan for the fees but you pay 1/2 that other international students pay (the same is true for Australians in NZ)
