Planning your estate is about looking after the people you care about. If Mount Scopus College has been part of your life, you may wish to continue helping all our families to have access to a world class Jewish and secular education.

All Bequests, unless specifically indicated, will go towards building our Foundation’s Endowment Fund.

You can read more about it below. A gift included in your estate, whether a percentage of your assets, a fixed sum, or a specific item such as a work of art, will have an enormous impact on our school community, and give you the opportunity to create your family legacy.

Bequests would normally be considered unrestricted. Bequests to the Mount Scopus Foundation, however, can be directed to a particular program or project at the College.

MOUNT SCOPUS FOUNDATION

Our Endowment Fund

Affordability of Jewish education remains one of the greatest challenges facing our community today.
The Scopus Foundation has established an Endowment Fund to ensure the long-term sustainability and accessibility of Jewish education by bringing down the cost of education for all.
To date the Endowment Fund has funds in excess of $7million.
With your support, our vision is to build this Fund over time, to create an income stream to reduce school fees in perpetuity, making a Scopus education more accessible for all our families.
It is our policy to put 10% of Foundation funds and 100% of all bequests to grow this Future Fund.
If you would like to join us in this vision, please make contact with us through the Foundation office, by calling (03) 9834 0065 or email us at foundation@scopus.vic.edu.au
