Educational services and the proposed grants scheme : a preliminary appraisal

Abstract

The Students Representative Council (SRC), Royal University of Malta, are actively rallying support for the immediate introduction of a grant scheme at the University. A published Memorandum (SRC, 1975) professes the urgent necessity for a subsidy in cash to university students; proposes a model 'financial benefit-household income' correlated assistance plan, based on results from a survey about students' needs and expenses while at university; and promises research on the personal demand patterns and related costs of students in the other post-secondary educational institutions in Malta, namely, the M.C.A.S. T. and Trade Schools.
