A lot of work has been done to-date in support of iGen. We are pleased to announce that several students are already in the process of receiving financial support. This section below gives you details of how many students are being funded and from which universities. These are interesting times indeed.
Universities to be started with
In the mean time, the following universities have been identified as having students with the most financial need and iGen will start by funding some of their students.
Number of students to be supported
Since the funds raised are not much, the trustees of iGen have agreed to separate funding into two categories, i.e. students needing registration fees and students needing a lump sum either to graduate or to prevent financial exclusion.
They agreed to cover 5 students needing support with their registration fees from each of the above universities, and to support one student with an amount of R10 000 from each of the above universities.
As more money comes in, more students will be covered and more universities will be included.
The task ahead is huge as our students need your support. We will soon be in your neighborhood to encourage you to support iGen.
Funding progress to date

For the 2022 academic year, plans are in place to fund more than 50 students. We will
soon
give you a progress report on that. All this is happening because of
the support of ordinary South Africans who are determined to see students succeed.
We are thankful to them indeed.
If you are not yet supporting students via iGen, we would like to encourage you to join

movement and support students in financial need by clicking on the “Join” page above and
