Australia Awards Scholarships at Monash University

Get ready to make a change

Australia Awards Scholarships are a prestigious, transformational experience.

Funded by the Australian Government, the Australia Awards Scholarships are offered to emerging global leaders from a wide range of countries, for study, research and professional development in Australia. It is through these new skills, knowledge and networks that Monash University’s Australia Awards graduates are able to drive positive change and contribute to the development, prosperity and resilience of their home country upon their return.

Why Monash?

We’re proud to have been supporting Australia Awards students since the mid-1960’s when this program was known as the Colombo Plan, but just in the last 10 years, we’re honoured that over 1600 Australia Awards scholars from 50 countries have chosen Monash to complete their studies.

We are not only leaders in education and research but also have one of Australia's most globalised education communities.

We've achieved an enviable reputation for research and teaching excellence in a short 60 years and are ranked among the world's top universities.

AND, WE CARE ABOUT SUPPORTING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN OUR NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES.
Monash University is now equal 7th in the world for Sustainable Cities and Communities within the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) performance indicators.
