Medley Hall is the smallest of the Colleges of the University of Melbourne, and is owned by the University. It is housed in a Victorian era mansion in Drummond Street, Carlton. The building is owned by the Victorian government, but is on indefinite lease to the University. It has a more intimate atmosphere than the larger Colleges, and many of its students are either from the country or are immigrants. In 2008 the Foundation agreed to sponsor four students at Medley.

Unfortunately Medley Hall has been closed in 2009, as it no longer meets fire safety regulations. The Foundation has promised a substantial donation towards the cost of refurbishing the College, and is cooperating with the University to ensure that the College will be able to reopen in 2010. Meanwhile the Foundation has granted special scholarships to some of the displaced students.
