Over USD 69 Million Disbursed in Student Loans and Scholarships Since 2024
The Ministry of Higher Education, Labour and Skills Development reported that more than USD 69 million has been disbursed in student loans and scholarships to Maldivian students since the beginning of 2024, covering January 2024 through 11 September 2025. The data shows loans of USD 69.1 million to 1,226 students, USD 23.9 million in scholarships, and 5,579 students completing their studies since 2024, with women forming a large share of enrollees.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
