Students Finance

Vision and Values

At Lavallette, our students are at the heart of everything we do because we know education is transformational. Our job is to create access to learning for everyone, regardless of background or circumstances, because this is how we change lives.

Studying with us is about so much more than gaining a qualification. We care about personal growth and we’re here to make a significant contribution to our communities through better opportunities and employment prospects for all who join the Lavallette family.

1. Scholarships

The Maltese Government provides scholarships to local and international students. These scholarships are delivered through the Ministry of Education and Employment, covering tuition fees and other expenses related to student finance. Scholarships available include the Malta Government Scholarship Scheme, the Commonwealth Scholarship, and the Erasmus+ program.

2. Student Loans

The Malta Development Bank provides student finance assistance for eligible students to pursue higher education in Malta. The loans cover tuition fees, living expenses, and other related expenses. Students are required to repay the loan after they have completed their studies.

3. Work & Study

Lavallette Malta can help you find work opportunities that help to build your level of professional experience and add value to your resume for the future. International students are allowed to work part-time for up to 20 hours per week during the academic term and full-time during holidays. You should check the regulations regarding work permits before taking up employment.

4. Employer Sponsorship

Employer sponsorship is when an employer supports an employee, usually financially or through endorsements, to pursue further education, training, or other career development opportunities. This can include funding for college degrees, certifications, professional courses, conferences, or even visas and work permits for international employees.

5. The Get Qualified Scheme (GQS)

The Get Qualified Scheme (GQS)

The Get Qualified Scheme (GQS) provides financial incentives for students pursuing a master’s degree. This program covers 70% of course fees, up to a maximum of €10,000 per student, for accredited courses at approved institutions. To be eligible, you must be at least 16 years old with a valid ID card and have been a resident of Lavatte for a minimum of 2 years.

6. Parental Support

Many of our international students receive financial assistance from parents, friends, or other relatives to help with their studies. This support can make a significant difference in managing student finance commitments and provides invaluable support for life outside the classroom

7. Self-Funding

If you are considering self-funding to cover your student finance requirements privately, you will likely need to have your own savings. This isn’t a common option for students even at the postgraduate level, but LA Vallette can help you with personal guidance and support on how to manage your studies with self-funding.
