Monash Graduate Scholarship
About this scholarship
The Monash Graduate Scholarship supports talented domestic and international students to undertake a research degree at Monash University, one of Australia’s leading research-intensive universities based in Melbourne. It provides a living stipend and tuition support so that scholars can pursue a master’s by research or a PhD within Monash’s strong research environment.
The award covers a full tuition offset, an annual living allowance of around 39,800 Australian dollars, a relocation allowance, and Overseas Student Health Cover for international students, for the duration of the research degree. Scholars work with established supervisors and have access to Monash’s facilities and graduate research training.
Eligibility is for students with an outstanding academic record equivalent to Australian Honours, a strong research proposal, acceptance into a Monash graduate research programme, and the required English proficiency. For many faculties you first submit an Expression of Interest and secure a supervisor to be invited to apply, then complete the online Graduate Research Admission and Scholarship application with transcripts, a CV, a proposal, references, and an English test where required, ticking the scholarship-consideration box, so no separate scholarship form is needed. Awards are competitive and based on academic merit and research potential. For research students, it is a strong, fully funded option.
