Our mission
To connect UCT alumni living in Australia and raise funds for student support, social justice and development programs at UCT.
Investment needed
A full-cost bursary (tuition, residence, books, travel and stipend) costs in the region of $9,000 AUD (R60,000) per year.
While the need for financial assistance is common across the University there is a major need for undergraduate bursaries in the Humanities, Sciences and Health Sciences.
