Why you might love this opp:
The John Monash Scholarship is a prestigious Australian postgraduate award that allows recipients to study in any field, at any international university, anywhere in the world.
Inspired by General Sir John Monash, the John Monash Scholarship is valued at $100,000 AUD per year for up to three years of full-time postgraduate study, at any world-class university outside of Australia. Each year the Foundation awards between 14-20 scholarships, empowering our scholars to gain world-class expertise from their chosen institutions, to then deliver positive impact for Australia.
No matter the passion – science, technology, the arts or social impact – this scholarship is open to Australians of all ages and study areas and is designed for those who demonstrate excellence in their field, leadership aptitude and are motivated to contribute to a better future for Australia.
With freedom to study any field, at any university, anywhere in the world, 300 John Monash Scholars have pursued postgraduate degrees at the world’s most prestigious universities.
As a John Monash Scholar, you’ll join an active, lifelong network of world-class leaders driven by innovation. From urban renewal through to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems, this talent bank is already creating impact in critical areas that will define Australia’s prosperity.
Through our Leadership Academy, you’ll have access to ongoing, personalised mentoring, exclusive events, professional development programs and collaborative grant opportunities with other Scholars to push the limits of what’s possible in your field.
