Leave a gift in your will

Leaving a legacy to IntoUniversity will allow us to continue our vital work for generations to come.

Why leave us a legacy?

IntoUniversity supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds across the UK to gain a university place, opening up a world of new life-possibilities including professional careers.

This benefit cascades through the generations because the children of graduates are much more likely to be graduates themselves.

We can only do this with the support of people like you who want to see young people succeed, no matter what their background.

I enjoyed a fantastic education, for which neither I nor my family ever paid a penny. I chose to remember IntoUniversity in my Will because I want young people in the future to have access to the excellent opportunities IntoUniversity is able to offer them – to have the sort of chances that I had.

How it works

You can choose to leave either a specific sum of money, known as a pecuniary legacy, or a share of your estate, known as a residuary legacy.

If you already have a Will, you can make a simple addition to your Will with a codicil. Please click here for some example codicil wording which you could take along to a meeting with your solicitor or professional advisor.

If you don’t yet have a Will, your solicitor will be able to help you write one and include a legacy gift.
