Students who undertake studies in Malta may also avail themselves of various funding opportunities or scholarships, including support provided by the Maltese authorities as well as support provided by the European Union.
Scholarships provided by the Maltese authorities are issued through the Ministry for Education. A list of available scholarships is published on the Ministry’s website. These include the Endeavour Scholarship Scheme, the Malta Arts Scholarships and the Malta Sports Scholarships.
The Endeavour Scholarship Scheme supports good quality tertiary education with the aim of ensuring that the Maltese labour market is supplied with adequately trained individuals. The scheme supports those pursuing this path to succeed both at the level of education attainment as well as contributing effectively towards the economy, thereby placing Malta in a better position to compete at an international level.
