Monash University has launched an AUD$2.5mil (RM7mil) first-of-its-kind awards programme to support students from South-East Asia in studying at its campuses.

The Vice-Chancellor’s Asean Awards, announced at the Australia-Asean Business Forum in Adelaide on Aug 26, will provide financial support for high-achieving undergraduate students from across the region to study at the varsity starting Semester 1 next year.
