The Federal Government has released a new online research tool for students wanting to find about student payments, including Youth Allowance, Austudy and ABSTUDY.

 

Parliamentary Secretary for Higher Education and Skills, Sharon Bird, said the Study Assist website now offers a new way to find out about the range of financial assistance available while studying.

 

"The Study Assist website brings together a wide range of information that a student needs to know about financing tertiary study," Ms Bird said.

 

"The site offers a new quick and simple interactive tool where students can answer up to six short questions to find out about their eligibility for student payments.

 

"There's also information about scholarships and government student loans that help cover the cost of study."
