Eligibility

Main route of entry

Applicants must be first year students or students undertaking the majority of a first year load – at least three quarters of the units you are enrolled in for 2013 must be first-year level units. For example, you should be enrolled in at least three first-year units out of a normal four-unit part-time load in 2013; or enrolled in at least six first-year units out of a normal full-time load of eight units in 2013.

Applicants apply in their first year and participate in the program in their second year.

Although most students at the time of their application will be first year undergraduate Monash university students, mature aged students and students from other centres for higher learning may also be eligible (see below).
