About the Malta Government Undergraduate Scholarship

The Malta Government Undergraduate Scheme 2025 is now open, offering generous financial aid to both local and international students pursuing full-time undergraduate degrees or MQF Level 6 qualifications. Whether you plan to study at the University of Malta, MCAST, or another approved institution in Malta or abroad, this scheme could significantly reduce your education expenses.

The Malta Government Undergraduate Scheme supports students who are enrolled in full-time, on-campus undergraduate programs—either locally in Malta or internationally—so long as the course leads to a Bachelor’s degree (MQF Level 6 qualification).

The scholarship provides:

Regular stipends (every 4 weeks)
Annual material grants
A one-time grant in the first year based on the priority level of your course (General, Prescribed, or High Priority)

Eligible Fields

All academic fields are eligible under this scheme. However, funding amounts differ based on the classification of your course. These categories are:
