My School is celebrating their 17th birthday at the end of September, and for the 17 days leading up to their big day, from 14 - 30 September 2014, for every new card issued with CPUT as the beneficiary, they'll give the university’s Bursary Fund R17 cash.
That means if we sign up 10 new users in the next ten days until the end of the month, we'll receive R170, 100 new cardholders translates into R1 700 and should we sign up 1000 new cardholders, our Bursary Fund will receive a whopping R17 000.
Vice-Chancellor, Dr Prins Nevhutalu has led the campaign to get as many CPUT staff, students and supporters as possible to buy-in to the My School Card Campaign.
It is one of South Africa's biggest community support programmes which raises funds to improve education and social development.
“This is one of the initiatives introduced by CPUT’s Advancement Department to bolster our Bursary Fund”, says Nevhutalu.
“It’s a simple and effective way to ensure that many more bright and deserving students denied an education due to financial constraints are given the opportunity to shine.”
