Description
The Monash Scholarships are one of Australia´s most prestigious awards, recognizing potential leaders in all fields. To consider applying, a candidate and their referees should believe they have demonstrated excellence in their university degree, together with the ability to lead, and to contribute to the community. Further, they must believe that completing a post-graduate qualification at an outstanding institution in another country would give them recognition, skills, and networks that equip them for a leadership role in or for Australia in coming decades.
For the eight applicants who receive a Monash Scholarship each year, the benefits are immediate and enduring. Monash Scholars immediately achieve national and local recognition through the publicity offered to the Awards. The Scholars are then funded for up to three years of study at a leading institution in another country, achieving a qualification that equips them for a greater role. Over the longer term, the Scholars are part of a growing community - now over 50 - of outstanding young Australian leaders aspiring to preserve and enhance our nation.
If you think you have this record of achievement and desire to play a leadership role for Australia - apply now, or contact us to discuss an application. The Foundation will be delighted to hear from you.
