Elite Student Athlete and Performer Entry Scheme

Monash is committed to helping students combine academic success with sporting or performing arts success. We understand that your ATAR or WAM may not fully reflect your potential due to the significant time and dedication required to perform at an elite level.

If you're an elite athlete or performer, you may be eligible for the Elite Student Performer Entry Scheme, which recognises your unique circumstances and achievements.
