Today’s young people are shaping their futures in a fast-changing world. Whether they are studying, working, or planning their next step, they need real support to move forward with confidence. A new set of proposals places youth and students at the centre, with practical measures designed to ease pressure and create real opportunities.

Students are set to benefit from a 15% increase in stipends, helping them focus on their studies without added financial stress. At the same time, those looking beyond Malta will receive stronger support. Students taking part in international programmes such as Erasmus will benefit from a €1,000 grant, making it easier to gain valuable experience abroad and develop new skills.

Learning, however, does not stop after graduation. A new Individual Learning Account will provide €500 each year over ten years, building up to €5,000. This can be used for further studies, specialised courses, or new skills, supporting lifelong learning and career development.

Young people will also benefit from a new €200 Arts Pass for those aged 18 to 21 to make it easier to enjoy cultural experiences.

Watch how these proposals could directly impact the future of young people.

Owning a home is another important milestone. Through the proposed My First Home scheme, the Government will offer interest-free loans covering up to 25% of a property’s value, helping young people take their first step onto the property ladder with greater confidence.

Additional measures will further ease the cost of buying property. The stamp duty exemption will rise to €300,000, while support for deposits and notarial expenses will be strengthened, providing meaningful financial relief at a crucial stage.

For those with business ambitions, support will also expand. Young entrepreneurs will benefit from mentorship and practical assistance, helping turn ideas into sustainable ventures.

At their core, these proposals are designed to give young people the tools, confidence, and stability they need to succeed at every stage of life.
