Monash International Merit Scholarship
The Monash International Merit Scholarship has been instrumental in shaping my academic journey and future career. As an international student from Malaysia, the transition to studying in Australia came with unique challenges, including adapting to a new environment and managing the financial pressures of studying abroad. This scholarship has not only alleviated the financial burden but also allowed me to fully immerse myself in my studies and university life without the constant worry of expenses.
Having completed my Bachelor of Business and now pursuing my Master of Business Analytics at Monash, the support from this scholarship has empowered me to excel academically and focus on developing the skills necessary for a successful career in data analytics. It has also provided me with opportunities to engage in extracurricular activities, connect with a diverse network of peers, and gain valuable experiences that I would not have been able to afford otherwise.
