A gift in your Will to the University of Melbourne is a powerful and enduring pledge that will enrich the lives of future generations. It is part of your legacy, reflecting who you are and what you value most about education and the pursuit of knowledge.
Your gift. Your legacy.
Gifts in Wills have transformed the lives of students, helped researchers tackle some of the world’s most challenging problems, and enriched our libraries and precious cultural collections for the benefit of the wider community.
There are many ways to remember the University in your Will. Wherever you choose to direct your gift, your generosity will make a lasting difference to the University’s capacity to inspire and nurture the best and brightest minds.
A legacy that empowers the next generation of scholars
Kathleen was an inspirational woman, with a visionary way of thinking, who wanted to create a better future for others and leave the world a better place.
Kathleen Mary Kehoe's visionary gift is creating a brighter future for fourteen new Narrm Scholars.
She not only inspired those around her during her lifetime, but she continues to inspire the wider community through the gift she left in her Will to the University of Melbourne.

How to include a gift in your Will
An up-to-date Will enables you to provide for your loved ones and the causes you care about most. You may choose to leave a portion of your estate, or a specific sum to support an area you are most passionate about.
