Hey so I’m wondering how scholarships work because I have a peer who has been offered a scholarship from Monash but Monash was not even her top 5 preference list. Monash is 2nd in my preference list and I have obtained a higher ATAR than my peer, we were from the same high school and I also received Monash guarantee, so I am curious as to why I was not offered the same scholarship? ( we put the same course down for Monash)

From what I've gathered the full scholarship distribution should take place this week. Some have already received their grants and if you've met the requirements for the course and scholarship it should be fine. If you've still not heard back from them, be sure to contact Monash to see if there's a problem.

I know it sounds silly question, I received a scholarship but I don't think I want to take that course (Eng), can I defer that scholarship to other course?

Depends on the scholarship. If it’s got a criteria that you must do a certain course, then you have to do what it says. If the scholarship has the word “engineering” in its title, then it’s probably expected that you’ll join that course, but you should check with Monash (or whichever institute it’s from) to be sure. If it’s rather ambiguous, give the institute a call and see.

Hi! I was curious about the whole scholarship situation and contacted Monash and this was their response (posting because I'm sure others would be interested):

"... scholarship offers will continue to be offered into early 2019. At this stage all I recommend that you check your email regularly."

I really hope you are a recipient of a scholarship offered sooner or later!

I received a scholarship offer a couple of days ago, I hadn't been expecting one because I had underwhelmed a lot, but is it possible that I may get offered other scholarships after this one, which is just a general scholarship? Am I wisest to wait for a while before accepting it, as I may get a better one, and this scholarship doesn't allow you to have multiple?
