About

Small charity, established 1993. Purposes: education. Operates in: VIC.

Giving Philosophy

The Trust's giving philosophy centers on advancing postgraduate education and fostering a supportive collegiate environment. It aims to empower resident postgraduate students by offering financial support for their studies and research through specific scholarship and bursary programs. Concurrently, it ensures the sustained quality and infrastructure of Graduate House to facilitate optimal academic and living conditions for these scholars.

Wealth Source:The Trust's financial resources are primarily derived from fundraising and donations. It was established by William (Bill) Berry, a long-serving Secretary of The Graduate Union, with the specific purpose of securing funds for the development, maintenance, and refurbishment of Graduate House, rather than distributing wealth from a single individual's personal industry fortune.
