Sixth Form Stipends In Malta Increased From €83.86 In 2013 To €139.53 In 2027

Sixth Form students in Malta will be receiving 66% more in stipends in 2027 compared to 2013, according to figures presented in Parliament.

Back in 2013, Sixth Form students received just €83.86 every four weeks. By 2027, that amount will have increased to €139.53, representing a rise of €55.67 over 14 years.

The figures were revealed by Education Minister Byron Camilleri in response to a parliamentary question submitted by MP Mairah Meli.

According to the data, stipend rates have gradually increased over the years, with some of the largest increases taking place in 2022 and 2026.

In fact, the general stipend rate increased from €115.88 in 2025 to €135.93 in 2026 alone.

For 2027, students will receive an additional €3.60 every four weeks as part of the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA).

However, not all students receive the same amount.

Prescribed stipend rates will increase from €146.77 in 2013 to €231.74 in 2027, while the high-priority stipend rate, introduced in 2017, will rise from €307.68 to €448.19.

The Minister clarified that the amount students receive depends on their level of education and the classification of their course.

While the general Sixth Form stipend has increased by approximately 66%, the figures represent nominal increases and do not account for inflation over the same period.
