UK Alumni Bursary Programme




A number of UK based alumni have made contributions to the UK Alumni Bursary Fund which is currently supporting four students at UCT. All of these students come from disadvantaged backgrounds and could not have contemplated continuing their studies without financial aid.  Read more...

Bursaries such as these not only immeasurably change the students’ lives, but also the lives of their families.   

Expressions of appreciation received from bursary students supported by UK donors :


“I hope you see that by helping me realize my dreams you are touching and changing way more than just me but my family, community and church. So again thank you for the impact and the little bit that you do for us because it definitely goes a long way.”

“I cannot find the right words to show how excited, happy, overwhelmed and thankful I am. I promise I won’t waste this opportunity you have offered me.”
“I would like to express my deepest thanks to you for awarding me this bursary. It has truly changed my life, as well as my family’s life.”

Thank you so much to all the UK alumni donors who have made this bursary possible.
