Abstract
This study confirms the multiple pathways Indigenous high school students utilise in the transition from school to University. There is a need to keep multiple pathways open as well as to enhance the effectiveness of existing programs that harness student aspirations for tertiary study to actual tertiary enrolment. Recognition of the diversity in Indigenous experience, family support, location and resource availability points also to a potential boost to desired outcomes from provision of a range of differential programs, structures and locally tailored support.
