In the words of Vice-Chancellor, Dr Max Price;

“Our goals are very simple. We want to improve the infrastructure at UCT that supports teaching and learning, and we want to ensure that deserving students have equal opportunity to be the very best they can be, even if they cannot afford the cost of study.

Please contribute: whatever amount you give will be greatly appreciated."
