Applications

How much does it cost to apply through SIT?

Nothing. Our counselling and application service is 100% free for students, universities pay us, you don't. There are no service or hidden fees.

How many universities can I apply to at once?

As many as make sense for you. We'll shortlist the best-fit options together and submit them in parallel so you can compare real offers side by side.

What documents do I need to start?

Usually a passport copy, your high-school or bachelor transcripts and diploma, and a photo. We send you a personalised checklist and help with translations.

Costs & Scholarships

How do the SIT deals and scholarships work?

Because we're authorised partners, we get negotiated rates and exclusive discounts. When you apply through SIT, eligible scholarships are applied automatically to your offer.

What is the real cost of living as a student?

Most students budget $400–700/month in Türkiye and $300–500 in Northern Cyprus, covering rent, food and transport. We help you find housing that fits your budget.

Visa & Travel

Will you help with my student visa?

Yes, from your acceptance letter onward we prepare your visa file, brief you for the interview, book the appointment and track it through to approval.

Do you arrange airport pickup?

We do. Tell us your flight and a SIT representative will be there to meet you and get you to your accommodation safely.

Living in Türkiye

Do I need to speak Turkish?

Not for English-taught programs, and there are thousands. We'll match you to fully-English degrees, and SiT Care helps with translation for daily life.

What support is there after I arrive?

SiT Care gives you lawyers, translators and a 24/7 hotline throughout your studies, residence permits, paperwork and any curveballs are covered.
