Get financial support through a La Trobe Access Scholarship or Bursary

Starting uni in Semester 1, 2027? Continuing your studies at La Trobe? Don’t miss out on your chance to get financial support through a La Trobe Access Scholarship or Bursary.

Why apply?

Here is what Westgate Social Work Bursary recipient Jasmin had to say about the application process and receiving her bursary.


“Once I started answering the questions, it was really simple and my stress has decreased now that I have received the bursary. I now know that I have something to support me as I step back from work to focus on my assignments for the semester”


A scholarship or bursary can make a real difference while you study. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Scholarships start at $5,000 per year for the duration of your course
  • One-off bursary payments start at $1,000
  • You only need to submit one simple application
  • We’ll match you to the scholarship or bursary that best fits your circumstances

Who can apply?

You could be eligible if you’ve faced financial hardship, experienced personal challenges, come from a disadvantaged background.

It’s easy, and it could make a big difference in 2027.
