Staff giving
Since 2013, La Trobe staff have supported over 90 full-access scholarships for students from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds.
By donating to the Golden Lanyard Program, our staff become advocates for change – ensuring more students have access to higher-education across Victoria.
A culture of giving
Staff who contribute to the program receive a Golden Lanyard – a practical acknowledgement of their kindness. In addition to supporting Golden Lanyard Scholarships, staff can also choose to direct their giving to specific student support or research initiatives.
Being part of this program gives me a sense of pride. That I’m part of something bigger. Part of a community that cares.
It's not just supporting students. Hopefully we also nurture the fabric of our society.
My dad always told me that education is the one thing you can never take away. I thought it was really nice to give someone a gift that can never be taken away from them.
