What if you could build an education?

UCT, like universities across the country, is facing a 0% increase in fees for academic tuition and housing for all students from the African continent at UCT in 2016. While government has committed to increasing its subsidy, the anticipated financial shortfall threatens to impact the university’s ability to provide financial support to students in need.

If you would like to help UCT in its commitment to ensure no student accepted on academic merit is turned away just because they’re unable to pay, please consider making a donation to the UCT Student Financial Support Fund. Every rand donated goes toward the payment of students’ fees.
