Six reasons to apply for the 2026 La Trobe Access Scholarship or Bursary

2026 isn’t too far away. If you haven’t given a serious thought yet to applying for a La Trobe Access Scholarship or Bursary, here are six great reasons to submit your application through VTAC:

  1. Significant financial support – bursaries start at $1000, while most scholarships are worth at least $5000. That’s money to help you focus on study, not stress.
  2. Support for undergrads and beyond – Scholarships and bursaries are open to all eligible continuing undergrad students. If you’re finishing this year and planning postgrad or masters studies in 2026, you can still apply.
  3. Future-proof your plans – Thinking about a postgrad course but not sure yet? Apply anyway. If you’re successful, our Scholarships team will get in touch.
  4. Nothing to lose – Not sure if you qualify? Apply anyway — you might be eligible for more support than you think. Remember, your scholarship or bursary application is free and is separate from your course application.
  5. Looming deadline – Applications close 10 October 2025. Don’t leave it too late.
  6. One simple application – Apply once and, if you’re successful, we’ll match you to the scholarship or bursary that best fits your circumstances.
