The John Monash Scholarships are prestigious postgraduate scholarships awarded to outstanding Australians with leadership potential who wish to study at any university overseas. The John Monash Scholarship is Australias only civic funded Scholarship, with awards being facilitated by the Australian Federal Government, State Governments of NSW and Victoria, corporations like the Commonwealth bank of Australia, Rio Tinto, BHP, Origin energy, Woodside Petroleum, Boeing. After twenty years of awarded Scholarships, the General Sir John Monash Foundation is considered one of the most impactful postgraduate scholarships available in Australia.
The General Sir John Monash Foundation was established in 2001 with an initial contribution from the Australian Federal Government together with further contributions from corporate and private sponsors and donors. The first John Monash Scholarships were awarded in 2004 to a total of eight Scholars. Recipients of the John Monash Scholarships are recognised as John Monash Scholars. As of December 2022, 248 John Monash Scholars have been selected, all of whom possess significant leadership potential, are outstanding in their chosen fields and aspire to make the world a better place. [1] The Foundation is named after General Sir John Monash GCMG KCB VD.
The mission of the Foundation is "to invest in outstanding Australians from all fields of endeavour who demonstrate remarkable qualities of leadership and have the ability to deliver outcomes and inspire others for the benefit of Australia". [1]
John Monash Scholarships are open to outstanding Australians with demonstrated leadership skills who are studying or working in areas of potential benefit to Australia. The Scholarship is publicised at all Australian universities to highlight the opportunity it offers for recipients to undertake postgraduate studies at an international institution.
In awarding the John Monash Scholarships, factors considered include: [2]
The John Monash Scholarships are not restricted by, age, gender, field of study or choice of overseas institution.
The initial selection process involves an assessment of all written applications. Applicants successful in the initial review are then interviewed by Selection Panels at the State level, followed by the National level. Panels are composed of high-calibre members drawn from academia, industry, government and community organisations. Following this stringent assessment process, the National Selection Panel recommends candidates to the General Sir John Monash Foundation Board for endorsement as recipients of the John Monash Scholarships. [1]
John Monash Scholars are working and studying in their fields of expertise in Australia and around the world. In November 2022, 15 individuals were announced as John Monash Scholars to commence their studies in 2023, bringing the total number of John Monash Scholars to date to 248. [3] John Monash Scholars are currently studying throughout the world at institutions in the UK, USA, Europe, Asia, Canada and New Zealand. John Monash Scholarships are not restricted by field of study and as such the range of disciplines of the John Monash Scholars is very diverse and includes medicine, law, social science, science and Technology, economics and finance, sustainability, engineering, humanities, arts, education, mathematics, defence and cyber security.
Many John Monash scholars are already having an impact in Australia and abroad.
Other noteworthy scholars include:I plan to use my John Monash Scholarship to travel to Kenya to work with the University of Oxford's research unit. My aim is to help identify the best and most effective way to administer oxygen therapy to critically ill and malnourished children. This is a really important project because it has the potential to change the way oxygen therapy is administered worldwide, including to children who are admitted to hospitals in Australia. I am absolutely thrilled to have been given this opportunity. [1]
