Make a Bequest

A bequest to the United World Colleges (Australia) Trust Ltd (UWC Australia) is a meaningful way to make a lasting contribution to the work we do with providing scholarships to Australian students to attend UWC schools and colleges, short courses, and become part of the global movement.

A bequest to UWC Australia could be a specific amount of money, a proportion of your Estate, the residual of your Estate, or other specific property.

Bequests are managed by our Board. If you wish to make a bequest to UWC Australia, or to honour or commemorate a named individual, we are available for a confidential discussion and to provide assistance. Please email our President and Secretary.
