Monash Scholars Program
Sandringham College has been invited to participate in the Monash Scholars Program for 2022.
How does it work?
The Monash Scholars Program provides selected high achieving students from Years 10 with an exclusive opportunity to engage with Monash University. Students apply for and are admitted into the program mid-way through their Year 10. Applications open in late April/early May each year. Scholars are expected to commit around 20 hours a year to the program; this will mostly involve attending on-campus events after school hours and during the holidays.
Scholars who successfully gain a place at Monash University after completing Year 12 will continue to receive benefits including leadership and ambassador opportunities.
If you are interested and would like more information come and see Deb in the Careers Room.
Year 11 and 12
It is never too early to start researching courses and pathways. Organise an interview, check out the resources in the library and careers room and look through the useful links.
