Not available during the Giving Day to make your gift? You can make an early donation by clicking on any of the "Donate" buttons.

Within every moment of every day lies the potential to change the world. You can change the world with a small donation that could feed a student for a day.

The University of Pretoria has over a century of academic and sporting excellence behind our name. Our students are some of South Africa’s brightest minds and we have a 94% pass rate because of our culture of academic excellence. In addition to this, 46% of all students who successfully graduate from the University of Pretoria receive some form of financial aid through funding from various donors, or full scholarships or top-up funding to help students and families reach the finish line.

Our students have the potential to be the next global problem solver – but they need your help. A simple meal helps a student to study, to succeed, to fly to the finish line and to use their skills and potential to create a better world for us all. We can do this together from as little as R50 (£2) a day.

It is our priority to make high quality tertiary education affordable and accessible to support students in their journey at our institution.

As a future-focused institution, we pride ourselves on developing students to become individuals who strive for excellence, whether academically, socially, or on the sports field.

Generous gifts received from alumni, benefactors and friends of the University of Pretoria all go a long way to ensuring that our students have the necessities in place so that they can soar.
