Fees Free for tertiary learners now covers fees for the final year of study or work-based learning.
From 15 January 2026, you will be able to apply for Fees Free in myIR for eligible qualifications or programmes completed during 2025.
On 6 October 2025, we will start managing Fees Free. Until then, all the information you need is on the Tertiary Education Commission’s Fees Free website.
