Bradford Pathway Program

Our Bradford Pathway Program participants were yesterday provided an opportunity to meet Roger and Lesley Gillespie, whose generous funding through their family foundation has brought this program to life. The Bradford Shepparton Program provides support to Year 11 students from term four, and throughout Year 12, through a fortnightly mentor program with current La Trobe University students and staff.

Students who enrolled in the program receive an early conditional place to La Trobe University and access to a pool of financial support where necessary, with the aim to inspire, inform and encourage participants to consider higher education.

Roger and Lesley yesterday spoke with the current Bradford participants about the program and the opportunities it provides students to follow their dreams and be successful in their own right.
