The Student Achievement Component (SAC) is the Government’s contribution towards the cost of teaching and learning services for students enrolled at a tertiary education organisation (TEO).
Students must be studying towards a qualification listed on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF).
The SAC comprises two funds; the SAC – Provision at Level 3 and above on the NZQF Fund (SAC level 3 and above), and the SAC – Qualifications at Levels 1 and 2 on the NZQF Fund (SAC levels 1 and 2).
Information on these pages relates to SAC level 3 and above funding.
Information about SAC level 1 and 2 funding is available on the SAC levels 1 and 2 webpages.
The Minister of Education is consulting on a proposed variation of conditions to set limits on fees that TEOs may charge to domestic students for new courses. See the New Zealand Gazette Notice for more information.
