Study for Free At SIT

Not having the funds to study is one of the main reasons people decide not to do it.

The Southern Institute of Technology offers the best education deal in New Zealand – SIT’s Zero Fees Scheme. We also have various other options that people can access financial support, such as the Government’s Fees Free Scheme, Youth Guarantees Scheme, and more.

We know that students need the best education possible to set up their future, but being a student shouldn’t mean worrying about barely scraping by each week or drowning in study debt.

Check out our various options below to see if you qualify for free study.
