There are various ways to get financially involved in the HOPE Project. You can make a personal donation, corporate donation, or leave a bequest.

Personal Donations

Donations can be outright gifts in any amount paid in cash, cheque or credit card. A donation may also be “in kind’’.  The amount of the deduction is capped at 10% of a person’s taxable income.

Our easy to use online giving platform makes donating safe and secure.  Your donation is handled by GivenGain, a secure payment gateway to process online donations.

Bursaries

Stellenbosch University requires funding beyond what government can give so that it can be successful in attracting the very best student talent. On average an undergraduate student needs R75,000 p.a. (for an average of 3 years) for tuition, accommodation and living expenses. On average a postgraduate student requires a minimum of R95,000 p.a (master’s level) and more at PhD or postdoctoral level.  Contact Nicoline Coetzer on +27 21 808 9160 or email: mailto:nicoline@sun.ac.za​
