Scholarships and bursaries

We are committed to providing learning opportunities for the highest achieving students, as well as those experiencing some form of disadvantage (financial hardship).

A Monash South Africa scholarship or bursary could mean:

  • 50-100 percent of your annual fees are paid – up to R60,700 – for your Foundation Programme or undergraduate course
  • a place in leadership, work and mentoring programmes not available to other students
  • financial freedom so you can devote yourself to your study and success.

Some scholarships offer one-off payments while others continue for the length of your course if you maintain your exceptional grades. Click on the scholarship titles below to find out more.
