Trust, Strategy, and a 100% Scholarship
at Monash University
"Manoj Bhadgaonkar met me and said he wants the best for his daughter — and that he fully trusts me. That trust is something we never take lightly. Tanvi's scholarship at Monash is the result of honouring that trust completely."

How to Secure a Study Abroad Scholarship at a Go8 University
Tanvi's achievement is a powerful proof of concept. If you or your child is targeting a merit scholarship at an Australian university, the foundation is the same regardless of the program or institution. Here is what the process looks like.
Start With the Right University-Program Match
A scholarship strategy begins with identifying the right institution — one where your academic profile aligns with their scholarship thresholds, not just their admission requirements. These are two different bars. Our UG counseling team maps each student's profile against scholarship eligibility criteria before any application is filed.

Build an Application Around Scholarship — Not Just Admission
The most common mistake students make is building their application for admission and hoping the scholarship follows. The strongest applications are built from the start with the scholarship criteria in mind — the academic record, the personal statement, the timing of submission, and the completeness of every document.
Pro-Tip for 2026 Australia Applications: Apply in the early round — not at the final deadline. Scholarship budgets at most universities, including Monash, are allocated across the intake cycle. Early applicants access a larger pool. Our UG team will advise you on the right submission window for your target university.
Understand the Full Financial Picture
A 100% tuition scholarship is a life-changing outcome — but living costs, accommodation, and travel still need planning. IMFS helps families understand the full cost of study abroad and explore options including education loans, additional grants, and bursaries available specifically to international students.
Why Families Trust IMFS for Scholarship Placements
When Manoj Bhadgaonkar chose IMFS for his daughter's future, it was an expression of complete trust. That trust is the foundation every IMFS engagement is built on — and it is what drives us to find not just an admission, but the best possible outcome for every student.
