Entry Schemes
At Monash, we know an ATAR doesn't always reflect a student’s true potential. Our entry schemes are designed to create a level playing field and take your circumstances into consideration as part of your course application.
1. Monash Guarantee
Through the Monash Guarantee, you can receive an offer for a course (or interview/audition access) even if your ATAR is below the standard requirement.
The Monash Guarantee is available to students who are:
- Financially disadvantaged
- from an under-represented school,
- live in a low socio-economic area,
- live or attend school in a regional or remote area, or
- identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.
2. Equity Schemes (SEAS)
Equity Schemes (SEAS) adjust your ATAR based on personal circumstances that may have impacted your performance.
- Through the VTAC Equity Scheme (SEAS) and scholarships application, your aggregate score is adjusted, and your ATAR recalculated, increasing your chances of receiving an offer.
- Use the SEAS calculator to estimate your adjusted ATAR and eligibility.
3. Indigenous Student Applications
Monash supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students through dedicated entry pathways.
- Multiple admission entry points are available to improve your opportunity to study at Monash.
