The University of South Africa (Unisa) has partnered with Feenix, an online crowdfunding platform, in order to help students to fundraise for their own studies. The campaign aims to bring together alumni, donors, staff members and communities to help raise funds for students they wish to support.
The campaign was launched back in June of this year, and plans to run throughout the entire academic year going forward.
Unisa students are invited to register on the Feenix platform. To date, over R500 000 has been disbursed to Unisa through Feenix.
According to a statement released by the University, Feenix is a safe and convenient way of supporting students, as Unisa will receive the financial donations made directly to the university’s account.
Currently, there are already students who are registered on the platform, and are in need of student fee support; the students are fundraising for current and possibly historical debt with Unisa.
If you are a Unisa student who would like to register to raise funds for your fees, you can visit the Feenix webpage. If you would like to donate funds to students who need assistance with their study fees, you can visit the Feenix funders webpage.
Please note that this self-fundraising campaign is only for enrolled and registered students at Unisa.
