WHY THE 1904 CLUB?
Rhodes University was founded in 1904 and the 1904 Club is a fund made up of 1,904 ‘units’. Once fully subscribed this fund will enable 60 talented school leavers, for whom poverty would otherwise prevent a tertiary education, to enrol in any of the University’s six faculties.
To you, this means a contribution equivalent to two cappuccinos or a small glass of wine each month (around £60 per year ) and the assurance that your money will go directly to those who have a real thirst to play their part in achieving a positive and uplifting future.
