American University of Malta International Transfer Scholarship

The American University of Malta (AUM) delivers US-style, fully English-taught Bachelor's degrees in business, engineering, computing, and the liberal arts from a campus in Cospicua, Malta. Alongside its entrance and merit scholarships, AUM offers awards aimed at transfer students — those who have already completed part of a degree or a diploma elsewhere and want to bring recognised credit into an AUM programme. For Sri Lankan students who have started a local degree, an HND, or an affiliated foreign programme and want to finish with an American-style EU qualification, this can shorten time-to-degree and reduce overall cost. As a private university, AUM's tuition is higher than Malta's public institutions, so the scholarship is meaningful. Credit-transfer outcomes depend on what AUM recognises from your prior study, so confirm the award value, transferable credits, accreditation, and deadlines with AUM admissions before committing.

What it covers

Tuition scholarship for transfer students bringing prior credits into an AUM degree. This is a reduction in tuition, not a full ride. You still fund the remainder, plus living costs and the balance your visa requires you to show.

Where we come in

We make the admission application strong enough to be competitive — course choice, documents, references and deadlines. The funder makes the decision.

Why the American University of Malta?

Looking for a scholarship because of the cost?

Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
