Aspire – Early Admissions Program to La Trobe

At La Trobe, we believe there is more to being a good student than marks alone.

The Aspire program rewards the skills and knowledge students gain from the positive impact they have made on their school or community through community service or volunteerism. Designed to give Year 12’s the tools they need to succeed at La Trobe and beyond, students accepted into the Aspire program will get:

A taste of university life at La Trobe with special on-campus events before the year commences

Access to our extensive library and campus resources
Induction into our Enrichment Program to prepare for what is to come

Successful applicants also receive their early conditional offer in September for their chosen course along with minimum ATAR requirements. Many courses have a minimum ATAR of 50, but some professional degree programs have higher requirements. Up to 40 Aspire scholarships, worth $5,000 per year for up to four years, will be awarded to leading eligible Aspire students.

The Minimum ATAR Table shows the minimum ATAR for some professional degree courses for entry through Aspire in 2021. Should an applicant’s preferred course not be listed on this table, then the minimum ATAR is 50.

Applicants are required to provide information about the length and frequency of their community service and/or volunteering experience, as well as a 400-word description of their involvement and impact.

Types of volunteering include –

community service or community group activities
religious/cultural group activities

The Professional Purpose Program runs alongside a student’s bachelor’s degree and functions like a life and career planner.
