The investment in students through stipends and grants will be increasing by one million euros for the school and academic year 2022-2023. This is compared to the last school and academic year. Thus the investment will now reach €33 million. For this school and academic year, 17,000 students will benefit from grants and stipends.
All this was announced by the Minister for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation Clifton Grima when he was talking to journalists about the opening of stipend applications. “We believe that strong and inclusive investment in our children guarantees success for them, for society and for our country. Our goal is to continue to build a system that better helps all students to develop their full potential while reaching all their aspirations,” said Minister Grima, who added that at an important moment in the stage of study of the students, we are seeing that they are also given financial support that helps them during their education journey. Minister Grima gave details about the opening of applications for stipends and grants for the academic year 2022-23 and also about a change from Students Maintenance Grants, they will now be known as Stipends and Grants. A change that was made not only in the name, to be identified more quickly, but also the application system for stipends and grants was simplified.
