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.
