Vice Chancellor's ASEAN Award
Sir John Monash Fee Scholarship
The Vice-Chancellor’s ASEAN Award supports high-achieving undergraduate students to study at Monash, reinforcing our deep commitment and connection to the region – socially, economically and culturally.
The program is designed to ease the full cost of study for international students – combining tuition support, travel and relocation assistance, visa fee coverage, and other services into one bundled award.
Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Sharon Pickering
From the moment Monash opened its doors in 1961 students from ASEAN have called Monash home. These students have helped shape Monash, which today is a truly international university deeply embedded in ASEAN.
These awards reflect Monash’s deep ties to Southeast Asia – through our students, alumni, research, and partnerships – and our commitment to delivering transformational education and research across the region.”
