StudyLink encourages students to get organised for 2027 study,

30 September 2026

StudyLink is reminding students who plan to study in 2027 to get their student finance sorted early through its annual You Can't Miss It campaign.

Students planning to begin or continue tertiary study in 2027 are encouraged to apply for their student loan or allowance early as part of StudyLink's annual ‘You Can't Miss It’ campaign.

Getting ready for 2027 – You Can’t Miss It

StudyLink is asking students to submit their applications and any supporting documents by 16 December 2026 to help ensure their finance is in place before the start of the academic year.

The annual campaign aims to help students avoid last-minute pressures and supports StudyLink in managing the high volume of applications received ahead of the new study year. Early applications can also support tertiary providers by enabling fee payments to be processed sooner.

StudyLink has also made a range of resources available to support organisations and education providers in promoting their message.

Students can visit StudyLink for information about student loans, allowances, application deadlines and eligibility requirements.
