Guidance regarding providing sponsor letters

If an employer or organisation is paying your tuition fees, provide official written confirmation from your sponsor before enrolling. 

You will then be able to select this as a method of payment during online enrolment. Family or friends helping with your fees do not count as sponsors. 

Sponsor letters should provide the following information:

  • Your name and student ID number
  • Your sponsor’s full invoicing address
  • Your sponsor’s email address for invoicing purposes
  • Whether the sponsorship is for the full duration of your course, or only for one academic year. If for one year only, you will need to provide a new letter for each year of your course.
  • If your sponsor is not paying your full course fees, they should specify the correct amount or percentage to be invoiced.

You can download an example sponsor letter here.

Email your sponsor letter to the Student Billings team with your student ID. Once approved, we will invoice your sponsor after you enrol online and payment will be due within 30 days.
