I left school in 2014 with a pass in Year 13 and now I plan to go back to University, I just want to clarify if it is ok for me to apply for loan or is there a certain age.
What is the closing date of NTS 2017?

I am a year 13 students of Queen Victoria School wishing to apply for TELS. Can I apply manually?
Can you send me the application form? Can I apply for loan scheme since I am working?
Can you please let me know when will the loan amount will be credited?
Any results on pilot training students for 2017?
I am doing my MBA. Can I apply for tels?
My marks for the FSLC(2016) was 145. I have an interest in taking graphics and signage in FNU. Am I able to apply for a scheme loan?
Yes. You should be given a chance because if its your hard work then you should try out for FNU.
I am a year 12 student and passed with 253/400 excluding maths mark. Kindly request for the tertiary - Hospitality & tourism Management loan scheme form for applying program. Your earliest response will be highly appreciated.
I need to know whether we have to get an offer letter from FNU and USP institute.
I failed my year 13 external examination and these are the obtained marks:
English-52,Biology-39,Chemistry-32,Mathematics-30 and Home Economics-61 adding up to 188 out of 400. I did full foundation of Biology and Chemistry and only 1 unit foundation in English at USP. I have a GPA of 3.9 and I have applied for national toppers. My doubt is that whether I will be successful in applying for loan. I just need to be clarified on that.
Can you send me a copy of tertiary loan scheme form? I have completed my year 13 this year and I wanna attend FNU.
I failed my year 12 exams which is FSLC. My mark is actually 197 and I request if I could be given a chance to go back to school through using the student loan scheme policy which is TELS Scholarship.
