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.

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.

Due to the ongoing restrictions caused by COVID-19, applications for the Mangold Study Abroad Scholarship have been suspended until further notice.
The Hamer Scholarships Program
The Victorian Government has established the Hamer Scholarships Program to support language study at sponsored universities in China, Indonesia, Korea and Japan. Scholarships amounts are between $10,000 - $15,000.
Centrelink
While Centrelink don't actually offer grants, it is possible for you to continue receiving your Australian Youth Allowance payments while on exchange. You'll need to obtain a request letter from your faculty, but only have you have been fully accepted by your host institution and enrolled in your exchange units.
Exchange partner scholarships and grants
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.
