Method of Application

In determining next whether the candidate should be granted a full (i.e. 100 per cent) or partial (i.e. between 10 per cent and 90 per cent) fee waiver, the Scholarships Selection Board should be guided by these considerations:

• Will the candidate’s research interests, skills, experience and/or competences bring significant added value to the UM research community?
• How do the candidate’s personal circumstances make them more or less likely to proceed on their studies at UM research community?
• How do the candidate’s personal circumstances make them more or less likely to proceed on their studies at UM without a waiver?
• What other means of support are available to the applicant since this scholarship covers tuition fees only?
• Is the nationality and/or the place of habitual residence of the candidate a priority area for the foreign and/or economic policy of the Malta Government? (This includes those countries in receipt of official Overseas Development Assistance.)

Requests for scholarships will be evaluated by a Scholarships Selection Board to ensure awards are granted to deserving candidates. The decision of the Scholarships Selection Board shall be final.
