Why the Alistair Mokoena Educational Fund Matters

"Give to learn, help dreams turn, let bright futures burn and return."

Established in honour of Prof. Alistair Mokoena, this fund supports talented learners who dream of studying at UJ but lack the means to do so.

The Alistair Mokoena Educational Fund invests in potential, identifying bright minds in basic education and helping them transition into higher learning.

University students graduating

It’s about nurturing the next generation of thinkers, innovators, and changemakers.

Each contribution, regardless of size, creates a ripple effect that impacts not only individual students but the entire UJ community and society at large.

How You're Making an Impact

Expanding Access to Higher Education

The Fund helps academically deserving students overcome financial barriers, ensuring that talented young people can pursue their postgraduate studies without being held back by cost.

Empowering Future African Innovators

By supporting postgraduate bursaries, the Fund nurtures future problem-solvers, entrepreneurs, and job creators—students who will drive innovation and strengthen communities across South Africa and the continent.

Advancing Gender Equality in Education

The Fund plays a crucial role in addressing gender disparities by supporting women scholars and promoting equal opportunity within the academic landscape.

Proven Impact, Stronger Futures

Through initiatives like UJ’s ‘Double Our Future Impact’ campaign, over R13.4 million has already been raised, supporting thousands of students. Dr. Alistair Mokoena’s contribution strengthens this mission to build ethical leaders and engaged citizens.
