Benefits

Mrs Merab Tauman (nee Harris) bequeathed funds to The University of Western Australia (‘the University’) to provide a scholarship, in memory of her husband Dr Leon Tauman, to encourage a high-achieving student to undertake Honours in French Studies at the University. Dr Leon Tauman held a Doctorate d’état from France and was committed to the discipline of French at the University.
