Zhafira Ratna Aulia
MRS Resident Advisor Scholarship
As an international student from Indonesia, the Monash scholarship has been a lifeline, easing my financial burden and supporting me through some of the most challenging times. When I was temporarily paralysed, hospitalised, and bound to a wheelchair, it allowed me to focus on recovery while continuing my studies without financial stress. This support helped me push through adversity and achieve academically, for which I am deeply grateful.
