Your own money and family help

Part time work

Part time work can really help with your study costs especially during the summer break. Given student time constraints and limitations of the job market, being able to pay for all your fees and living expenses may not be a realistic option.

Contact Student Job Search on www.sjs.co.nz for help in finding part-time work during the term and over the summer break.

During term time try and make sure it doesn’t get in the way of your studies. It could result in you having lower grades than you’re happy with or even failing your course. The cost of having to repeat a course far outweighs the benefit of some extra cash.

Family help

Cash handouts would be great but there are other ways they can help financially. If living at home is an option, it means you’ll be borrowing less for living costs.
