Monash Community Leaders Scholarship

Are you interested in mentoring students from under-represented high schools? The Monash Community Leaders Scholarship recognises excellence for those participating in the Access Monash Mentoring Program. You will have the opportunity to develop your leadership, public speaking and teamwork skills, while being a mentor to high school students.

This scholarship is available to commencing students with an ATAR of 85.00+ and current students with a minimum Weighted Average Mark of 65. As the Community Leaders Scholarship
