Impact of Giving
Your legacy
Gifts in Wills provide vital support to our
students through scholarships, enable our
researchers to address the world’s greatest
problems and provide the finest facilities
and equipment for learning and discovery.
A gift in your Will can honour your life’s
work, pay tribute to a loved one, invest
in an area you are passionate about, or
leave an enduring legacy to support
future generations of students.

Decie Denholm
Decie’s legacy gift
Alum, Mrs Decie Denholm (MA 1968), was a University employee
for 22 years and a Visiting Research Fellow. In 2011, on the death
of her husband Lawrence, Decie endowed a supplementary
scholarship for students of European History called the LF and D
Denholm Scholarship in History, in memory of her late husband
and the life they made together.
Decie and Lawrence were also great music enthusiasts and
took immense pleasure in attending concerts at the Elder
Conservatorium of Music. On her death in 2018, Decie bequeathed
approximately $2.36M to the University to establish three funds –
the Music Scholarship Fund, the Music Residency Fund, and the
History Scholarship Fund.
