Travel Insurance

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.

Visas

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: Please note that many nationalities are required to obtain a Schengen visa to enter Europe (view list of nationalities here). NOTE: This is an external link to a non-Monash site. If you hold one of the nationalities that require that visa, Monash Abroad strongly recommends that you engage with the relevant Consulate/Embassy* now to commence the visa application process. This is due to the visa processing backlog and delays many Consulates and Embassies are currently experiencing in relation to Schengen visas.
Monash Abroad cannot provide advice regarding visa requirements. Please contact the Monash Business School for the required supporting documentation. You can contact them via Monash Connect and flag for the attention of the Global Programs and Partnerships team.
*The Schengen Visa application rules state that, if the travel itinerary includes more than one Schengen member state, the application must be submitted at the Consulate/Embassy of the main destination or, if you plan to spend the equal number of days in each country, the visa must be applied for at the Consulate/Embassy of the first Schengen Zone country you arrive in.

Monash Abroad will issue you with supporting documentation to lodge your visa application once you have completed all Monash Abroad requirements and are approved for travel. If you require supporting documentation earlier in the process, please contact Monash Abroad.

Centrelink support documents

For the purposes of maintaining your Centrelink benefits during your overseas program, Monash Abroad will provide you with a letter confirming your participation in a study tour. Please note that this will be issued to you once you have completed all Monash Abroad requirements and are approved for travel.

Important Note:

The Monash Abroad Travel Grant and OS-HELP loan (if applicable) will be paid approximately 2-4 weeks prior to program commencement and only when all Monash Abroad 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.

Monash Abroad Travel Grant

Monash students studying in Australia who are enrolled into a credit bearing unit for this program will be assessed for eligibility 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., New Colombo Plan Mobility grant).

You do not need to apply separately for this grant as your eligibility for this grant will be assessed as part of your application.

OS-HELP Loan

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.

Student Loans

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

Travel Scholarships

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