Funding
Opportunities
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 help with tuition costs and encourage lifelong learning.
Depending on the programme and your eligibility, you may be able to benefit from the Students’ Maintenance Grants (Stipends), the Get Qualified Scheme, or the MySkills Plus Scheme, making higher education more accessible and affordable.
Get Qualified
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.

MySkills
The MySkills Scheme, administered by Jobsplus, provides financial assistance to eligible individuals who wish to develop new skills or further their education. Depending on the programme and your eligibility, the scheme may contribute towards the cost of tuition fees, helping make higher education more accessible.
If you would like to learn more about the MySkills Scheme, including the eligibility criteria and application process, please visit the official Jobsplus website by clicking here.
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.
