How is it paid?

The OOB will be applied as a deduction to subject tuition fees while the student is offshore until the Australian border opens. Failure to meet the condition(s) and pay the acceptance deposit on time may result in the withdrawal of the OOB.

Background

La Trobe University is offering the OOB to students who have been disadvantaged by the Australian border closure. We understand that students commencing studies in their home countries are missing out on access to facilities and amenities which may impact their student experience. This is a top-up fee reduction of up to 35 per cent in recognition that students cannot experience the on-campus experience, services and facilities while they are offshore.

The OOB will only be available for the online subjects a student completes while located offshore, and is void once they resume their studies at one of our campuses in Australia.

Students currently living in Australia are not eligible for this bursary.

This bursary will be applicable from Semester 2 2021 onwards and will not be backdated.
