Top-Up Stipends
MCAST students on apprentice programmes may be eligible for the Top-Up Stipend Rate. This amount of stipend is credited to students who are effectively working with their sponsor over and above the normal stipend rate. Students found eligible for these stipend rates receive a pro rata amount of the National Minimum Wage.
Remuneration
Apprentices receive Students’ Maintenance Grants along with payment from their sponsor. Payment from sponsors is based on the number of hours effectively worked with the sponsor. On the other hand, Students’ Maintenance Grants are credited as follows:
| Period Covered | Students' Maintenance Grants Received (depending on eligibility) |
|---|---|

October 2022 to June 2023 |

*Top-Up Stipend Rates vary greatly according to the course being followed and according to the number of days students are attending for lectures at their respective institution.
