The University’s senior management has launched the UP Solidarity Fund, which will be used to buy laptops and to support students in dire need. The University and a number of donors have contributed to this fund, and other donors have made provisioning of a laptop to the students that they are currently funding. In pursuit of the principle of sustainability, the laptops will be on loan to students and for use by other students in the future.

The University of Pretoria is a well-managed, financially prudent and highly respected and reputable university. Our core focus is providing a high quality of education for all our students and producing research that matters. We try to answer the Big Questions of our society, while caring for the individual wellbeing of our students.

Gifts received from alumni and supporters of the University will go a long way in making up the shortfall in state funding that all Universities currently face. Therefore, your support is essential in assisting us to reach our fundraising goals.
