The number of individuals who want to further their studies to
achieve their desired careers is on the increase. However,
aspirations may often be held back by financial challenges such as
course funding, accommodation, transport, living expenses and other
study-related costs.
These issues were recently discussed during the 'Money
Management and Student Loans' Webinar, jointly organised by
GEMMA and Bank of Valletta.
Explaining how students have become an important segment within
the local community, David Spiteri Gingell, GEMMA Team Leader,
said, "Student-targeted-initiatives such as scholarships are
nowadays more easily available. However, prudent planning and
budgeting of funds are critical for one to reap the benefits of
such investments. Financial planning should begin from one to two
years before applying for a course, even if the student is aiming
to take up a study loan".
