The Student Maintenance Grants Board has started crediting students' accounts with the one-time grant and the annual grant over the past days, the Education Ministry said in a statement today.
Almost 4,000 students from post-secondary and MCAST in Gozo and Malta received their grant on Friday, while a further 3,500 University of Malta students will receive theirs early next week. This brings the total investment paid out in the past days to over €3.6 million.
During 2013, investment in stipends and grants was just under €23 million. During the last scholastic year this increased to over €28 million.
