Are you 21 or over and studying?

If you're 21 or over and applying for Jumpstart, or applying for lending benefits only available to tertiary students, you must be enrolled at and provide proof of full time study at a government recognised tertiary institution or a NZQA approved language school. When applying for lending benefits you must have a minimum of 6 months remaining on your course.
