A free internet voucher scheme with a value of €300 has been launched for post-secondary students – 3,100 students will benefit from an investment of around €1 million, the Government has said.

3,100 post-secondary students are set to start benefitting from free internet for one year. This measure will benefit stipend-eligible students enrolled in state, independent and church schools, Junior College and MCAST who opt to immediately continue their studies after finishing Year 11 (Form 5).

This was announced by Minister for Education Justyne Caruana and Minister for the Economy and Industry Silvio Schembri.

The vouchers will be distributed electronically by Wednesday,the 19th of May and can be redeemed from Thursday, the 20th of May. Vouchers are valid until the end of June 2021.

Students will receive a free €300 internet voucher via email. This can then be cashed at one of the country’s major Internet Service Provider stores.

It was explained that the voucher can be redeemed from the service provider, which will immediately be paid through a system designed by MIMCOL. Each student may choose any internet scheme offered for the voucher value.
