What an award is worth against a year's fees

What this list does not tell you
- 2 of the 2 awards below have no single published closing date — most run on an annual cycle whose exact date the funder confirms each year. Always check the provider's own page before you plan around a deadline.
- Nationality eligibility is recorded for 0 of 2 awards. Where we show no restriction it means we could not verify one, not that none exists.
- Funding in Malta changes with government budgets and university intake targets. Programs get suspended between cycles, and a fully funded award one year can become partial the next.

Do I need a university offer before applying for a scholarship in Malta?▾
It depends on the award. University-administered scholarships in Malta are usually assessed alongside or after your admission application, so you apply to the program first. Government and foundation programs vary: some require proof of admission at the point of application, others issue a conditional award you then take to a university.
