The University of Exeter College of Benefactors

In acknowledgment of the importance of philanthropy, the University of Exeter invites its most generous donors to become members of the prestigious College of Benefactors. Induction into the College is the highest honour that the University can bestow upon its donors.

Membership to the College gives public recognition to the University’s greatest benefactors at one of the University’s annual graduation ceremonies. Members of the College can also be welcomed (in absentia), if preferred.
