Funding Initiatives

This UCT Day, we are raising funds in support of UCT students. The funding focus areas reflect our dedication to fostering holistic growth and addressing critical issues that shape the lives of our students. We invite you to explore the FOUR impactful areas where your support can make an incredible difference:
