Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) has managed to raise R3 million to pay for academically deserving students who were unable to register this year due to outstanding fees.

Spokesperson for CPUT Lauren Kansley said, “The Vice-Chancellor has recently signed an agreement with the head of the ETDP Seta (Education, Training and Development Practices) . The Financial Rescue Fund will assist students who are academically deserving and in need of financial sponsorship.”

Students who have benefited from the funds have registered and will catch up on the classes they missed.

SRC President Sipho Mokoena said the SRC has formed a Student Debt Relief Fund (#NoStudentLeftBehind).
