1. Check your eligibility
Centrally managed scholarships for Australian campuses are awarded through a highly competitive selection process in which your academic record, research output and research experience are assessed. Similar to admission into a graduate research degree, our central scholarships have a set of eligibility criteria that must be met.
Applicants who are applying for a Joint Award with Monash as the home institution are able to apply for central scholarships, provided that eligibility criteria are met.
Applicants who are applying to study at Monash’s overseas campuses and locations do not apply for a scholarship though the Graduate Research Admission and Scholarship Online Application system.
Scholarship consideration for Monash Malaysia is based on successful receipt of an offer of admission. For further information refer to the Monash Malaysia scholarships page.
For information on scholarships for Monash Indonesia, please refer to the Monash Indonesia scholarships page.
2. Submit an expression of interest
Prior to applying for a graduate research degree, you will need to submit an expression of interest (EOI) to the relevant faculty or academic unit.*
Each faculty has a different EOI process so please read any instructions provided carefully (including guidance on contacting potential supervisor/s) and make sure you are aware of any applicable closing dates, particularly if you are applying for a scholarship.
Art, Design and Architecture │ Arts │ Business and Economics │ Education │ Engineering │ Information Technology │ Law │ Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences │ Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences │ Science │ Monash Sustainable Development Institute (MSDI) │ Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC)
If your EOI is successful, the faculty will issue you with an Invitation to Apply.
*Not all applicants are required to submit an EOI, please refer to the application guides listed in Step 3 for further information.
