The General Sir John Monash Foundation provides postgraduate scholarships to support outstanding Australians to undertake studies anywhere in the world.

The John Monash Scholarship provides an annual stipend of $100,000 AUD for up to three years of study. Funds can be used to flexibly cover:

• tuition fees
• accommodation
• other living expenses.

The total amount of funding you are eligible for depends on the length of your chosen program:

• One-year master's degree receives $100,000 AUD
• Two-year master's degree receives $200,000 AUD
• Three-year PhD (or DPhil) program* receives $300,000 AUD.

*Important: If your program exceeds three years, you must self-fund the remaining costs.

The John Monash Scholarship gives you the opportunity to study in any field, at any world-class university, anywhere in the world.

To be eligible for a John Monash Scholarship you must: 

• be an Australian citizen; 
• have completed (or nearly completed) a degree with an Australian university; 
• plan to start a full-time master's degree or PhD at an accredited university outside Australia, commencing no earlier than 2026
• commence your studies within 12 months of being awarded the scholarship.

You are not eligible if you are:

• seeking funding for current postgraduate study or programs starting in 2025
• seeking funding for study at an Australian university
• holding a Rhodes, Fulbright or Ramsay Scholarship for the same program for which you are applying for a John Monash Scholarship.

You do not need to apply or have an offer before submitting your application. You will be expected, however, to have done your research on the admissions process, timeline and eligibility requirements of the program.
