General Sir John Monash Foundation Information

The General Sir John Monash Foundation awards postgraduate scholarships to Australians who demonstrate outstanding leadership potential and who wish to study overseas. Inclusive and unrestricted by applicant age or area of specialty, the John Monash Scholarships support tenacious Australian Leaders dedicated to solving problems affecting Australia. Our purpose is to raise funds and administer Australia’s finest postgraduate scholarship program. We also work to advance the leadership capabilities of our Scholars, helping them to grow their academic and industry networks, to deliver outcomes that inspire and benefit Australia and beyond. The John Monash Scholarship is gifted in the spirit of General Sir John Monash, a remarkable Australian who believed that education is not given for individual benefit, but for the higher duties of citizens who seek to advance society. Our Foundation is a charitable organisation, incorporated in 2001 as a public company limited by guarantee. It has named status in Australian income tax legislation as a ‘Deductible Gift Recipient’.
