Hundreds of visitors stopped at the European Institute of Education's stand during the National Careers Convention at the Mediterranean Conference Centre, Valletta, recently. EIE representatives answered queries on local and overseas studies. Information was also available on the Strategic Educational Pathways Scholarships (STEPS), a scheme launched by the government and co-financed by the EU. Another call for applications opens on May 1. Students registering for study programmes at EIE may apply for these scholarships.
