Do you reside in the city of Hume and are you beginning your first degree in 2025?
The Hume Multiversity Tertiary Scholarship Program was first established in 2021, to address the enormous impact COVID-19 had on the lives of people living in the Hume area.
This $5000 scholarship provides students with critical support in their first year of university to help ease the financial burden of studying.
For a Hume Scholarship recipient studying a Bachelor of Education (Secondary) at La Trobe’s Melbourne Campus, receiving a Hume Multiversity Scholarship in 2022 gave her “the financial freedom to study hard without the stress of having to support [herself] financially”.
The support I have received from the Hume Scholarship program has felt like a breath of fresh air, it has reinvigorated my passion for achieving excellence in all facets of my life. As an older student returning to university, it is so encouraging to be supported and to have people believe in me. It helps me believe in myself and my path.

In conjunction with Hume City Council, the scholarship aims to improve community aspirations and to facilitate lifelong learning by making education and training opportunities more accessible to Hume residents.
For a Bachelor of Nursing student working towards becoming a Registered Nurse, the scholarship has allowed her to support her family to pay the rent and purchase the resources required for her course. It also has helped her prepare for the costs associated with attending placements, such as food and petrol.
Being on placement is one of my favourite memories as I really enjoy meeting with the patients and getting to know them. Receiving the support from the Hume Multiversity Tertiary Scholarship Program gave me the financial freedom to make the most of my time on placement.
