The vision of the Aspire Program is that every young person in the Northern Territory can access tertiary education – to always be connected, inspired and supported.
We facilitate age-appropriate opportunities for Northern Territory school students to repeatedly connect with the horizons of higher education, possible careers and life-long learning.
This program is funded by the Australian Government's Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program (HEPPP).
How Aspire supports success and access to higher education
The Aspire Program
At CDU, we believe that university is for everyone. The Aspire Program is currently being redesigned to support more Northern Territory students through a suite of new opportunities for prospective university students who come from low socio-economic backgrounds.
We recognise the success of the current Aspire Program and celebrate the achievement of our Aspire Alumni. The model for the program moving forwards - Aspire 2.0 - will be announced by mid-2020.

Aspire Program Graduate
I’m very thankful for the Aspire Scholarship for the last 3 years of my high school life! I’m now studying TEP (Tertiary Enabling Program) this semester at CDU. My goal for this semester is to pass all my units, so I can get into Nursing.
