Students

Financial Aid Information.

While the price of tuition, fees, lodging, food, and uniforms for the International Teachers College is only a fraction of the cost of a comparable education in Australia, Canada, or the USA, it is possible that some students may not be able to afford these costs. For this reason, there are two types of financial aid for students.

All Students – Due to the significant financial commitment of the Pelita Harapan Foundation (YPPH), an ITC University-to-Work?Program is available to qualified students from any country to cover the cost of academic fees, living accommodations and meals, textbooks, and uniforms for those students who are willing to complete a three-year term of paid teaching service after graduation. Participants in the ITC University-to-Work program must complete a separate application and agreement that commits them to a period of three (3) years of reciprocal service at a Christian school assigned by the YPPH following the completion of their ITC degree. The ITC University-to-Work?Program application may be downloaded from here.

Indonesian Students – Indonesian students who are accepted to the ITC are eligible to apply for merit-based scholarships from UPH to cover a portion of the cost of their tuition and fees. Scholarships are provided on a first-come, first-served basis, and do not cover the entire cost of the educational expenses. The UPH Admissions Office can provide additional information about scholarships. Just click here for additional information.

Admission Requirement.

Applications for the ITC must be completed by 15 April 2022, but students who apply earlier may be eligible for additional scholarships. The ITC uses the standard UPH Admissions form that can be found on the right side of this page, but several additional items will be required. For assistance in completing the application, please contact itcadmissions@uph.edu.

International Student Visa.

Each non-Indonesian citizen student must apply for a student visa called ITAS (Limited Stay Permit). The student visa application must start 2-3 months before your arrival in Indonesia (for students from calling visa countries, the process must start 7 months before arrival). The UPH International Office, working with a third-party visa agent, assists all international students in acquiring the Study Permit and ITAS acquisition process. For more information on the requirements, please visit the?international.uph.edu/services/visa-legal-permits.html.

After your arrival on campus, the ITC will hold your passport in ITC office for safety. If you need to access your passport for business or travel purposes, you may obtain it from ITC office and return it after you have completed your transaction or travel.

There are many intricacies involved with obtaining, maintaining, renewing, and surrendering the student visa and ITAS, as well as with leaving Indonesia for a holiday during the period of study. Please consult with the?UPH International Office?about any questions you may have so that you do not incur any unnecessary costs.
