Legacies

Leaving a legacy enables you to give a gift which will make a real difference to the University and will live on, in a very real sense, to benefit future generations.

Perhaps you:

• would like to support a particular academic department or area of research
• are an alumnus/a of the University and wish to fund a scholarship, to ensure that a promising but cash-strapped student can benefit from the Bradford education you enjoyed
• want to honour and commemorate the life of a loved one, by naming a scholarship, room, or even a building in their honour
• just want to help Bradford achieve its aims and are happy for the University to use your donation wherever the need is greatest

Further information is available in our Legacy Brochure or from our Development Team on 01274 236844 or giving@bradford.ac.uk.

Make your Will for free!

We are delighted to offer our friends, staff, supporters and graduates the opportunity to make a Will for free, a potential saving of up to £80! We hope that if you choose to take advantage of this service that you will consider leaving a gift in your Will to The University of Bradford, but there's no obligation to do so.

To make your Will online, visit www.legal365.com and select either:

a DIY Will (free) using code UOBFREE

or a Lawyer-Reviewed Will (this costs £30 for a lawyer to review your will, normally £120) using code UOB30

Once you have completed the online process, just enter your chosen promotional code in the box provided at the basket where you would normally pay for the Will.  The discount will be applied and shown at the checkout before the order is completed.

Suggested wording for your will

When leaving a gift to The University in your Will, it is important to use our full name, address and Inland Revenue number.  We recommend the following wording if you wish to leave a percentage of your residual estate to the University: 

I give **% of the residue of my real and personal estate which I can dispose of by Will in any manner I think proper to The University of Bradford, Inland Revenue Reference No: XN6997 of Richmond Road, Bradford, BD7 1DP and the receipt of the Honorary Treasurer or the proper officer for the time being of The Unviersity of Bradford shall be a complete discharge to my Executors.

 or if you wish to leave a specific sum to the University:

I give the sum of £** pounds to The University of Bradford, Inland Revenue Reference No: XN6997 of Richmond Road, Bradford, BD7 1DP and the receipt of the Honorary Treasurer or other proper officer for the time being of The University of Bradford shall be a complete discharge to my Executors.
