University of Malta International Undergraduate Scholarship
The University of Malta is the country's oldest and largest higher-education institution, teaching in English at the heart of the Mediterranean. It offers partial tuition scholarships and fee concessions to strong international undergraduates, including Sri Lankans, across a broad range of Bachelor's programmes. For Sri Lankan A/L students, the University of Malta combines an English-medium European degree, lower living costs than most of Western Europe, and EU recognition, with merit-based support that reduces the headline tuition fee. Awards are competitive and decided on academic record, so a strong set of A/L results substantially improves both your admission and scholarship prospects.
Annual cycle — international admission typically processed over spring/summer for the October intake

info How this award actually works
Who awards it
University of Malta — not Lanka Scholar. We are not the awarding body and cannot grant, reserve or guarantee this award.
How you are considered
Through your admission application. Awards like this are usually assessed automatically from the application you already submit — there is typically no separate scholarship form to fill in.
What it covers
Partial Tuition Scholarship for Overseas Students. 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.

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.
Work out your real number
Tuition, living costs, visa funds and flights for your destination — so you know the gap you are actually trying to close.
