    Is there any type of fee help?

    That you can get if you want to go back to study - whether it be through TAFE, adult ed or a private college??
    I'd really like to go back and do some study but ATM am finding it really hard to afford to do so. Obviously i'm saving (or at least trying to) but was curious to know.

    I know that in the ACT there are government scholarships and Salvation ARmy and Smith Family scholarships as well as some that are administered by the Tafe itself.

    Maybe have a closer think about what it is that you want to do and then contact them and ask. The student union or student welfare officer (or similar) will usualyl know what is available.

    Usually Adult Ed is more for interest sake so I don't think they offer much fee relief and Private Colleges are usually in it to make a profit so wouldn't have too many I would suspect. But it is always worth asking.

    If you google "Vet Fee Help" there is a fair amount of information on courses that are available through registered training providers. Vet Fee Help is a little like the HECS uni financial assistance, but for tafe and other diploma type courses. Hope this helps
