Aspire Everyday Impact
You don't need the perfect record. Just the drive to make your impact.
Aspire Everyday Impact gives Year 12 students with the drive to make a future impact a direct pathway into undergraduate studies – no ATAR required.
What's Aspire Everyday Impact?
Aspire Everyday Impact is a great option for Year 12 students who demonstrate strong potential and experiences outside of the classroom or have chosen to undertake Unscored VCE and want the security of an early offer into uni.
Instead of relying on traditional achievements or your ATAR, we'll use your previous grades, motivation and passion for impact to secure you a spot into a Diploma course at La Trobe – giving you a direct pathway to transition into undergraduate studies.
