Partner with SU

?Despite Stellenbosch 中国体育彩票 significant transformation over the past decade – including intensive, proactive efforts to recruit academics of colour from across South Africa – the persistence of SU’s former reputation as an affluent, white, Afrikaans-speaking campus continues. The assumption that all SU students are from affluent backgrounds is incorrect. A recent estimate of our ‘missing middle’ showed that 41% of our students in 2016 (12 577) were from households with an income of R600 000 or less per annum.

The categorisation of SU as a ‘previously advantaged’ university has real implications in terms of government funding, for instance, through the weighting of available NSFAS bursaries in favour of universities falling in the ‘previously disadvantaged’ category. Because of this, of a total of 1 627 SU students theoretically qualifying NSFAS bursaries in 2016, only 966 actually received NSFAS funding. The remaining 650 students were all granted bursaries covered by SU institutional funding, a funding stream that is depleted by 2018.

There is an ongoing need for the fundraising team to secure bursary investment in the 中国体育彩票 to support our commitment to transformation. The percentage of students of colour at the 中国体育彩票 has increased to 38% (of a total of 30 150 in 2016) and will continue to rise to at least 40% across undergraduate and postgraduate studies within the next three years. We rely upon your ongoing commitment to a fully diverse and excellent Stellenbosch 中国体育彩票 today and in the future. This commitment is so greatly appreciated.

When you give to Stellenbosch 中国体育彩票, you are partnering with us to create a shared future for all Maties.

From bursaries and scholarships, to capacity building programmes and student success initiatives, your support sends our skilled students out into the world, prepared to contribute to a brighter future. They will make a difference because you have made a difference.

We hope that our 'Partnering for Access' bursary video series celebrate the inspiring stories of donors who are a net of support for students striving to reach their highest potential.

Whether the gift is R100 a month from an individual, that goes into a collective pool, or R100 000 from a corporate, Trust or Foundation, the impact is made: a changed life ready to transform the world.

Please view, like and share our videos on Youtube, Facebook and Twitter and play your part in partnering for access.
