Once you have enrolled or if you are already enrolled, you will need to complete the scholarship banking details form so we can start your scholarship payments. Note: Payments can only be made into an Australian bank account in your name.
If you are enrolled on a part-time basis, and your scholarship has not been awarded for part-time study, you will need to convert to full-time before your payments are able to commence.
Your scholarship payments are paid into your nominated Australian bank account on a fortnightly basis. You can download a list of those dates here. International students will need to ensure that they have sufficient funds available to support their living costs, from the date of arrival to when scholarship payments commence.
To ensure the Monash Graduate Research Office is able to commence, suspend or resume your scholarship payments in time for the applicable pay period, all necessary forms need to be submitted/approved no later than 10am on the relevant Processing Cut-off Date.
The stipend rate for centrally-allocated scholarships increases from 1 January each year. The stipend update is usually processed in late January each year. The current rates are available here.
Unless specifically requested, payslips will not be printed nor supplied to new commencing awardees.
If you require a copy of your pay slip/advice, please email hr@monash.edu with the following information:
- Full Name
- Date of Birth
- Address
If you have any queries regarding payments received, please contact us at mgro-scholarships@monash.edu.
Please note that students on scholarships are not able to access or view payslips via ESS.
Income Statements for part-time awardees will be available via myGov at the end of every financial year. Income Statements from previous years are also available via myGov. Please refer to the ATO website for further information.
Note: full-time scholarship awardees are not issued an Income Statement.
Centrally allocated scholarships (such as RTP Stipend or Monash Graduate Scholarship) are governed by Monash's RTP Scholarship Policy and Procedures.
For scholarships that are awarded by a Donor or faculty, queries regarding any requirements or conditions will need to be directed to the relevant academic unit/faculty.
All students receive a Fees Statement/Tax Invoice which shows fee and enrolment details for the calendar year. Tuition fees (for international students) are assessed up to the maximum duration of a student’s research degree (4 years full time equivalent) regardless of their thesis submission date.
The dates for each research quarter are as follows:
Research Quarter Start Date End Date
RQ1 1 January 31 March
RQ2 1 April 30 June
RQ3 1 July 30 September
RQ4 1 October 31 December
If you are a MITS, MIPRS or RTP Fees Offset (International) scholarship holder, your tuition fees will be covered up to the end date of your scholarship. However, after your tuition scholarship ends you will be liable for tuition fees and will receive a Fees Statement/Tax Invoice from Student Finance.
You can review your entitlements in the RTP Scholarship Procedures. If a variation to your enrolment is approved, you will have your fees re-assessed and an updated Fees Statement/Tax Invoice may be issued.
Once you submit your thesis, you will not be liable for tuition fees for any research quarter thereafter. Your enrolment load and fees will be adjusted based on your thesis submission date and an updated Fees statement issued. You can apply for a refund for any fees paid in excess if applicable.
You may contact Monash Connect if you require further assistance with the information contained in your Fees Statement/Tax Invoice (including the payment due dates).
This really all depends on the type of scholarship you are receiving. For further information on Centrelink and taxation of your scholarship(s) can be found here.
