Other scholarships

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's 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 money 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.

Other External Funding

Walter Mangold Trust Fund scholarship

The Mangold Trust Study Abroad Scholarships are travel awards for advanced tertiary language students currently attending a university in Victoria who apply for an exchange or study abroad placement to continue their language studies overseas for at least one semester.

The scholarship funds contribute towards reasonable travel and living costs while the recipients are enrolled full-time at an approved overseas institution to study an accredited language and cultural program for one or two semesters (the minimum enrolment period is 12 weeks).
Advanced students of all modern languages are eligible to apply.
