CPUT Vice-Chancellor, Dr Prins Nevhutalu, is leading the bid to get as many CPUT staff, students and supporters as possible to buy in to the My School Card Campaign.
My School /My Village /My Planet is South Africa's biggest community support programme which raises funds to improve education and social development.
The programme partners are South Africa’s favourite retailers, including Woolworths, Waltons, Reggies, Toys R Us, Engen, SupaQuick and Kalahari.com.
As an added bonus, cardholders get exclusive discounts and special offers such as WRewards at Woolworths. They also receive monthly statements via email showing transactions and how much has been raised for the Fund, simply by swiping the card when shopping.
“This is one of the initiatives introduced by CPUT’s Advancement Department to boost our Bursary Fund”, says Nevhutalu.
“When the Department approached me to lead this campaign, I jumped at the chance. It’s absolutely critical that our Bursary Fund strengthens and grows in the months and years to come, so that many more academically-deserving students denied an education due to financial constraints are given the opportunity to shine.”
To boost the CPUT Bursary Fund swipe your card when you shop at any partner store.
If you don’t already have a My School card;
- Apply for a free card at www.myschool.co.za or call 0860 100 445. You can also get a card at any Woolworths store.
- Nominate CPUT as your beneficiary
- If you already have a My School card, please nominate the CPUT as your beneficiary. To do this log onto www.myschool.co.za/supporter/update/
The partner donates a percentage of your purchase to the CPUT Bursary Fund.
