Currently using PELS to pay for your postgraduate course?

If you are using the Postgraduate Education Loan Scheme (PELS) to pay your tuition fees, the introduction of the Higher Educaiton Loan Programme (HELP) may affect you.

From 1 January 2005, PELS will be subsumed into FEE-HELP. Generally, if you receive a PELS loan you will be able to access FEE-HELP under the same eligibility requirements as PELS.
