Monash University Malaysia Entrance Scholarships

Published January 25th, 2006 in Scholarships

If you’re applying to Monash University Malaysia, and have no idea about the scholarships that I’m going to talk about in this post: Make sure you read closely because the deadline for these entrance scholarships is the 24th of February, 2006. But most prospective Monash students should already know about these scholarships.

The Monash Entrance Scholarships are immediately eligible to prospective students who meet certain academic criteria. These criteria are as follows:

Program	Category 1 100% scholarship	Category 2 50% scholarship	Category 3 20% scholarship
GCE A-Levels / STPM ^{^}	5As	4As	3As
Australian Matriculation	Enter ≥ 99	Enter ≥ 98.5	Enter ≥ 98
Canadian Matriculation^#	≥ 98%	≥ 96%	≥ 95%
MUFY @	≥ 385	≥ 375	≥ 365
International Baccalaureate	≥ 40	≥ 39	38
UEC	≥10As*	≥8As*	≥6As*

^ Must include 3 principal subjects for all categories
# English Year 12 is compulsory
@ Based on the best 4 subjects
+ 10% bonus on 5th subject
* Must include an ‘A’ for English Language

The entrance scholarships are valued at the reduction in tuition fees they provide. There is one thing you will have to take note of though, and that is Monash’s strict policy regarding those that fail to apply for the scholarship - even though they are eligible. Monash will not provide the scholarsip if you do not fill in the necessary paperwork.

All you need to do to maintain your scholarship throughout your studies at Monash is to maintain at least a distinction average in each semester and not fail any unit whatsoever. Sounds terribly easy doesn’t it?

In any case, get the application form here. If you qualify, you better get moving, or you’ll probably regret it for life (or at least throughout your studies at Monash).
