Philanthropy fuels our progress at the Central University of Technology, Free State (CUT).
We aim to increase scholarships and bursaries, grow our campus, and provide projects and programmes that benefit our students and our community.
Giving to CUT is an excellent way to invest in the University’s social commitment.
