The Tertiary Education Scholarships Scheme (TESS) is intended to support good quality tertiary education at MQF Level 7 and MQF Level 8 and to seek to contribute towards the Maltese labour market with the right skilled individuals. The scheme is aimed to support those pursuing this path to succeed both at the level of education attainment as well as contributing effectively towards the economy.

Tertiary education forms an increasingly important part of any country’s economic and social agenda.  It also supplies a key element of many people’s continuing professional development. 

The Tertiary Education Scholarships Scheme which aims to address the above objectives is financed by the Ministry for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation in Malta.
