Schools Access Monash

The Schools Access Monash (SAM) program provides a range of activities for a select number of schools to increase students’ awareness of universities and courses available and to help students reach their academic potential.

Schools involved in the program are:

  • Cranbourne Secondary College
  • Dromana Secondary College
  • Hawthorn Secondary College
  • Kurnai College
  • Lowanna College
  • Monterey Secondary College
  • Pakenham Secondary College
  • Sandringham College
  • Traralgon College
  • Western Port Secondary College

This program aims to:

  • encourage tertiary participation
  • provide information about Monash programs and university life
  • engage with school students, parents and staff about educational possibilities
  • provide individual assistance by Monash students
  • provide financial support (scholarships) for selected students

SAM consists of three main components designed to achieve these aims:

  • Individual student assistance - Monash University students are enlisted to individually assist Year 12 students to maximise their VCE results and therefore enhance their prospects of studying at university.
  • Increased awareness of options available - Monash University will arrange activities and events that will increase students’ knowledge of university as a study option.
  • Schools Access Monash Scholarship - Monash University will provide a scholarship for one student from each school participating in the program, who is eligible to attend Monash University.
