TWO AWARDS · DISTINCT PURPOSES
Your circumstances.
Your commitment. Your potential.
Dean’s Scholarship Award
A needs-based tuition award for academically accepted applicants who demonstrate that financial circumstances present a barrier to study.
Assessment considers financial resources, essential responsibilities, other available support and a credible plan for meeting the remaining tuition. Open without restriction by nationality or country of residence.
Women’s Scholarship Award
Supporting aspiring, dedicated women across all Monarch academic fields, within eligible doctoral and master’s-level programmes at MGRI and MBS.
Assessment considers motivation, commitment to advanced study and potential to contribute through professional or community life. An established leadership title is not required, and research need not concern gender or women’s issues. Financial need is not a requirement.
Independent awards. Combined support.
Applicants may seek more than one award, subject to each award’s eligibility criteria. Each is assessed separately. Where both are approved, the 20% and 10% awards combine to provide 30% of the same eligible tuition amount.
The Dean’s Scholarship Award honours Dr. Lee Dahringer, Professor Emeritus and Monarch’s first Dean.

ACADEMIC ACCEPTANCE COMES FIRST
A clear, connected process.
