Additional funding support
While it's likely that you'll be getting some support through your Monash Abroad Travel Grant, it may not cover the full cost of your overseas program.
The good news is that it is possible to hold more than one scholarship, bursary or grant at a time – so it's a good idea to research all the different kinds of funding available to you.
Monash University Travel Funding
Monash wants to make sure that funding is not a barrier to your participation in an overseas experience. We provide lots of information on funding opportunities available to students travelling overseas for study or placements.
For more information, please visit Travel and placement scholarships organised by Coursework Scholarships Unit.
Centrelink
While Centrelink don't offer grants, it is possible for you to continue receiving your government income support payments while overseas.
You are able to receive a letter from Monash Abroad that you can provide to Centrelink to support continuation of these payments.
If you are participating in an exchange semester or Global Winter/Summer Program, you will be automatically issued this letter following the submission of your host acceptance document (this is known as a Confirmation Document).
For all other programs, you will need to request to receive the letter from Monash Abroad.
External scholarships, grants and funding
Many of our exchange partners and foreign government bodies offer scholarships and grants to encourage you to choose them as your study abroad destination.
The eligibility requirements, conditions and application details differ between each, so make sure you read the fine print.
