Getting ready for 2017

04 October 2016.

Our call to action campaign encouraging students to apply for their 2017 student finance is underway and there are lots of ways you can help.

Make the Date - Apply by 16 December.

This year we're asking students to Make the Date, and once again, apply by 16 December.

This approach allows us to manage the volume of applications in order to help students get organised for the start of the new study year, which also benefits education providers by getting fee payments made earlier.

Your help to spread the message is a big contributor to our success and we've produced some material that will help you do this easily, such as:

  • text to use on your website and in e-newsletters
  • images in a range of sizes for you to use on your website and in emails
  • images in common screen resolutions that can be used as screensavers or wallpapers in libraries or computer suites.

Text for websites and newsletters

Make the Date – 16 December

Around 180,000 students will need to get organised for study in 2017. Apply by 16 December to give yourself the best chance of having everything sorted ready for the start of your course.

If you’ve had a Student Loan or Student Allowance in the last 12 months you can use the Returning Application in MyStudyLink to apply quickly and easily.
