We understand that Student Funding is an important part of your academic journey. In Malta, students and their families may be able to access government-supported funding schemes to support tuition costs and encourage lifelong learning.
Many of our programmes may be eligible under the Students’ Maintenance Grants (Stipends) and the Get Qualified Scheme.
Students’ Maintenance Grants (Stipends)
The Students’ Maintenance Grants, commonly referred to as stipends, provide financial support to students enrolled in recognised full-time programmes. These grants help with living and study-related expenses during the academic year, depending on eligibility and government regulations.
Our undergraduate programmes may qualify under this scheme; however, approval depends on the outcome of the student’s application and the scheme’s conditions.
The scheme is not available for Postgrads.

Get Qualified Scheme
With the Get Qualified Scheme, students can claim up to 70% of tuition fees when successfully complete their programme.
Unlike the stipend scheme, the tax rebate may be claimed by the student, their parents, guardians, or other individuals who paid the eligible tuition fees, provided the correct declaration and documentation are submitted.
