The maintenance score to retain your scholarship is based on a simple average, rather than your Weighted Average Mark (WAM). To calculate your simple average, total up the marks of the previous semester’s 4 units / 4 (since 4 units are taken).

The standard full-time study load is 24 credit points and is a requirement to maintain your scholarship. Should you enrol less than 24 credit points, please consult with the Scholarship and Study Loans Office via AskMira.

• fail to meet the retention criteria stated in the scholarship terms and conditions;
• have been suspended or excluded for misconduct under Monash statutes and regulations;
• were made an incorrect scholarship offer, as determined by Monash University Malaysia, in its sole discretion.

Your scholarship may be withdrawn at any stage if you provided incorrect, false or misleading information, or withheld relevant information. This includes circumstances where the false information is unrelated to the assessment in awarding the scholarship.
