Student grants
Malta has need-based and universal grants for full-time home and EU/EEA students, with no age limit.
Students' Maintenance Grants consist of a yearly grant plus a stipend paid every four weeks; you need to apply in your first year. Students on MQF/EQF Level 6 courses also get a one-time grant at the start of the course. Students in proven hardship can get a supplementary maintenance grant, reviewed every year and taking into account how many people in the household are still studying.
In 2023/24 universal grants ranged from EUR 2,165 to EUR 5,315 a year (typically about EUR 3,433), and need-based grants from EUR 4,984 to EUR 8,134 a year (typically about EUR 6,251).
