The Chancellor's Circle
The Chancellor’s Circle is the name given to our community of generous benefactors who demonstrate leadership and commitment to the University of Melbourne through annual gifts of $1,000 per year or greater.
Membership in the Chancellor’s Circle is 12 months, or until the gift is renewed.
Chancellor’s Circle donors will be invited on occasion to special events to interact with the University leadership, academic staff, students, and fellow Chancellor’s Circle donors in recognition of the University’s gratitude for their level of support.
