The trust has been established to receive donations to support social justice and development programs managed by the University of Cape Town.
UCT is committed to supporting financially needy students.
Of some 100,000 UCT alumni (graduates) worldwide, over 2000 reside in Australia. These graduates have on the whole achieved a high degree of success and income level in their adopted country. Many wish to give back to the institution which provided the education to facilitate their relocation and success, and thereby provide development aid to South Africa
A full-cost bursary (tuition, residence, books, travel and stipend) costs in the region of R60, 000 (A$9,000) 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.
Directors of The UCT Australian Trust are UCT alumni with a commitment to the management and promotion of the trust with the aim of raising funds for scholarships and student-led programs that directly impact The University of Cape Town.
