Eligibility

Main route of entry

The Ancora Imparo Student Leadership program is for second year undergraduate students based at a Victorian campus of Monash University.

Applicants should normally be studying the first-year or equivalent of an undergraduate degree at the time of application.

To qualify for the program, at least three quarters of the units you are enrolled in for 2008 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 2008; or enrolled in at least six first-year units out of a normal full-time load of eight units in 2008.

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

The program involves a compulsory three-day residential camp in mid February and compulsory attendance at nine evening (2.5 hour) forums held monthly on Tuesday nights.  Participation in other events during the year is voluntary.
