Funding Your Study
Fees Free
Starting tertiary study or work-based learning for the first time? You may be able to get Fees Free after you complete your first qualification or programme.
Fees Free covers the cost of your fees which may cover your final two years of work-based learning depending on past allocation, which could be up to $12,000.
When you enrol, you and MAST Academy need to discuss how you pay the fees with your employer.
