Under the Zero Fees Scheme, SIT will cover your tuition fees if you are a New Zealand citizen, resident, or permanent resident living in New Zealand during your study.
It’s simple, all you pay for are the direct material costs associated with your course.
In 2018, SIT also introduced the Mayor Sir Tim Shadbolt Accommodation Bursaries for Invercargill. The bursary was launched in response to the introduction of the Government’s Fees Free policy. SIT will be offering the accommodation bursary to all students eligible for study at its Invercargill campus. These students will be offered shared accommodation at SIT’s apartments in Invercargill for free, or alternatively, $100 per week for up to 40 weeks regardless of whether they are living at home or renting in Invercargill.
