INDERPREET Singh grew up in a small town in South Australia, before moving to Shepparton for high school. She said going to university had always been her dream, but she wasn’t sure it was for her.
“Getting into university seemed very competitive, hard and unknown.”
When Inderpreet discovered La Trobe University’s Pathway Program, she found the support and skills she needed. Today, she’s on her way to a medical career.
The program is funded through philanthropic donations and helps students in their final years of school develop fundamental life and study skills.
Inderpreet credits the Bradford Shepparton Pathway Program with making university feel attainable, and for teaching her a range of personal and professional skills.
“Doing the program gave me the sense that reaching university is something anyone can achieve. It’s important for us and it benefits the whole community.”
