Monash Law School Rural Bursary

Monash Law School recognises that many of our best students have come from rural and isolated areas and that there is an increasing shortage of lawyers in rural areas which is of concern to the profession. Through the Monash Law School Foundation Rural Bursaries, we aim to address this.
