2026 Monash Scholars events and engagement opportunities

Events are a pivotal and exciting part of engaging with students in our program. Scholars will be formally invited via email to the events they are eligible to attend. Once a Scholar has registered for an event, their nominated parent/guardian will be sent a permission form in the week before the event to approve their child's attendance.

A key event that Scholars from all year levels are encouraged to attend is our annual Open Day. Other events such as course information sessions and Monash Information Evenings can be useful as well (and are advertised via the Discover Monash site).

We also keep in touch via our private Discord cohort groups. For details of how to join your cohort group, email monashscholars@monash.edu

Please note that the Scholars event calendar changes from year-to-year, and is responsive to a particular cohorts needs and requests. Events will mostly take place at our metro based campuses or occasionally on line or live-streamed.
