Insurance

Insurance is included in SIT’s International Fees. We automatically organise insurance for mainstream students through the resource fee, so that is one less thing to worry about. Insurance for English will be arranged for NZ$300 for 26 weeks of study.

International Scholarships

You may be able to apply for SIT’s 26 Week English Scholarships or the John Wright Academic and Sports Scholarships.

SIT's Zero Fees Scheme allows New Zealand citizens, New Zealand permanent residents and Australian citizens residing in New Zealand the opportunity to study approved programmes without paying tuition fees. The Zero Fees Scheme, where available, applies only to the base tuition fee attached to each programme of study. Direct Material Costs apply. Direct material costs are costs that relate directly to students, for example, to cover your uniform, texts, tools, activities and NZQA charges.
