Who is eligible
Commencing international students in most undergraduate and postgraduate coursework degrees at the Australian campuses, assessed on academic results. Some disciplines and pathway entries are excluded.
Monash's broad merit award for international students, paid at AUD 15,000 a year for each full year of study until you reach the credit points your degree requires. It is one of the more widely available flagship scholarships because it is not capped at a handful of recipients.
You submit a short separate application after you receive your Monash offer. It cannot usually be combined with other Monash scholarships, so check which award you are better off taking.
