We try to answer the big questions of our society, while caring for the individual well-being of our students. Gifts received from alumni and the University’s supporters go a long way towards helping us to fulfil our vision by making up the shortfall in state funding that universities in South Africa are facing.

That is why your support is essential to help us reach our fundraising goals. The Alma Mater Fund gives you the opportunity to support the University of Pretoria in three different ways:

Alma Mater General Bursary Fund, which supports students by providing bursaries.

Special Projects Fund, which supports worthy causes such as the UP Library, the advancement of campus culture, music and art, and the UP Crisis Line.

Junior Tukkie Sustainability Fund, which assists learners in Grades 10, 11 and 12 to make responsible study and career choices.

How much?

You have the choice of contributing R50 a month, R100 a month, R600 a year or more

How to?

UP has also launched the University of Pretoria Foundation in the US for alumni to enjoy the benefits of giving back to their alma mater.
