📌Overview
The UKZN Medics Legacy Fund is an initiative of the MBChB Class of 2005 which aims to support students at the Nelson R. Mandela School of Medicine who face financial barriers. This fund ensures that promising medical students, who might otherwise be held back by tuition fees or living costs, can continue their studies and go on to strengthen South Africa’s healthcare system.
🎯 Project Goal
Our aim is to ease the financial pressures that threaten students’ progress by:
- Covering tuition shortfalls and registration fees
- Supporting students with historic debt
- Providing much needed mentorship to guide their career development
Through this fund, we are enabling future doctors to complete their training without interruption and to contribute meaningfully to their communities.
