Background

Wominjeka – Come with Purpose

Embark on a transformative journey with La Trobe University's Study Abroad Scholarship. Wominjeka - meaning “Welcome” and “Come With Purpose” in Woiwurrung, the language of the Wurundjeri people - reflects the spirit of La Trobe and the values we uphold.

Guided by this ethos, our scholarships support students from La Trobe’s partner universities and agents, making global learning more accessible to those who might not otherwise afford it.
