La Trobe University + Carlton Football Club
Partnered since 2016, La Trobe is the exclusive Higher Education Partner of Carlton Football Club. United by our connection to Melbourne’s North and excellence in sport, we’re working together to enhance education and community outcomes for the North and beyond.
Legends of the North
First-in-family to kick a footy or first to go to uni, La Trobe backs all Legends of the North. And that’s why we power the Adam Saad Pathways Program, helping multicultural kids from Melbourne’s North gain skills on and off the field so they can become future footy stars.
