SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS FROM DISADVANTAGED BACKGROUNDS

The Access, Inclusion and Success (AIS) team leads Monash University’s strategy for improving the access, participation and transition to careers for students from low socio-economic status (SES) backgrounds and regional and remote communities. Activities facilitated by the AIS team in 2023 included outreach and mentoring for secondary students, scholarships and academic co-curricular programs for our current students and alumni mentoring to strengthen graduate outcomes.

In 2023, 10.7 per cent of commencing domestic undergraduate students came from the lowest SES quartile.
