In New Zealand we get interest-free student loans for up to 6 years of tertiary education with the possibility to get living costs with a weekly sum being part of this loan. Although you will be living marginally without an outside source for something like pocket money (A day a week is a pretty good compromise if you don't have savings). Effectively, anyone that wants to get a degree can. There is no barrier outside the academic. And this loan stays interest free until we leave the country long-term. A small percentage is taken automatically out of your pay when you finally start earning. It all works pretty well for us.
