Global Work Integrated Learning Placements - Faculty of Science

In addition to the Monash tuition fees*, students should consider the following program related expenses for budgetary purposes:

• International flights and trasnfers
• Monash tuition fees*
• Visa (if required - see information below)
• Medical expenses (which may be claimable via the insurance policy)
• Meals and drinks
• Personal expenses
• Any additional travel expenses.

*Monash students will be enrolled in the relevant unit (if applicable) and charged standard fees according to their verified funding status. This fee will appear on your Monash Fee Statement.

IMPORTANT NOTE - Do not make any financial commitments (e.g. flights, accommodation bookings etc.) until you have:

• received faculty approval;
• been enrolled into the associated unit(s); and
• had your Monash Abroad application status changed to "Approved to Travel".

If you are an actively enrolled Monash student and participating in an approved international program, you will be provided with complimentary travel insurance. You will automatically be covered once your application has been approved and your enrolment updated to reflect your study overseas.

Under this policy, travellers will also receive access to 24/7 emergency assistance provided by Global 24 Emergency Assistance and limited coverage for personal travel days.

Monash Abroad cannot provide advice regarding visa requirements. If you require a visa to enter the country where your placement is based (e.g. you are an International student), you will need to contact the relevant Consulate General or Embassy within Australia for advice. Monash Abroad can issue you with supporting documentation to lodge your visa application, to request that, please complete this form. Please note, these requests take approximately 3-5 business days, but may take longer during peak periods.

For the purposes of maintaining your Centrelink benefits during your overseas program, complete this form so that Monash Abroad can produce a letter of enrolment for you. Please note, these requests take approximately 3-5 business days, but may take longer during peak periods.

The Monash Abroad Travel Grant and OS-HELP loan (if applicable) will be paid approximately 4 weeks prior to program commencement and only when all requirements are completed by you. Therefore, these funds should not be considered as your primary source of funding to pay program related deposits and balances.

Students undetaking an internship as part of the Bachelor of Science - Global Challenges may be eligible to receive a Monash Abroad travel grant if they are not otherwise receiving any other scholarship that is intended to cover most or all of your travel/tuition costs for your program (e.g., Global Immersion Guarantee ). Please check with your Course Coordinator regarding eligibility.

OS-HELP is a Commonwealth Government loan program that provides financial assistance to eligible Commonwealth Supported Place students, to undertake some of their study overseas.

If you are eligible for the loan and wish to apply, please submit your application as per the relevant OS-HELP loan term deadline, even if you have not been accepted into your overseas program by that deadline.

If you need help with study-related expenses, please refer to the student loans website and talk to a student adviser at Monash Connect.

Please refer to the travel and placements scholarship website for more information.

To be eligible to apply you need to:

• be currently enrolled in a Monash undergraduate or postgraduate coursework degree
• apply for a GWIL unit for which you can receive academic recognition towards your degree
• complete all application requirements for the overseas unit, as set out by your faculty.
