Monash Relocation Grant

Growing up in regional Queensland, my opportunities for attending university were limited due to my circumstances. The Achieving Potential Support Scholarship and Monash Relocation Grant has provided me financial assistance and support while I study at Monash. This relief for my family and I, has allowed me to focus on my studies and strive for excellence. Receiving this scholarship has been a transformative opportunity, enabling me to pursue a degree I once thought wouldn't be possible.
