Indigenous students

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge and pay respects to the Traditional Owners and Elders - both past and present - of the land on which our five Australian campuses stand.

We offer culturally sensitive support throughout the application process and your studies at La Trobe.

Scholarships

We have a range of scholarships open to Indigenous applicants.

Indigenous Accommodation Scholarship

At La Trobe, we understand how important access to safe, secure and affordable housing is for our students.

That’s why we are offering Indigenous students a guaranteed place in our accommodation facilities across all of our campuses, as well as a scholarship that will cover any gap left after Rent Assistance – this means you’ll be able to live on campus at no financial cost to you.*
