The CUACA Education Fund
The Cambridge University African and Caribbean Alumni Society (CUACA) is committed to investing in future generations.
At the end of 2009, CUACA has launched an Education Fund to provide valuable financial support to current undergraduate students.
With African and Caribbean students disproportionately under-represented within the University of Cambridge’s student population, it is imperative to invest in improving access and the success of future generations.
Our overarching aim is to assist undergraduates in the pursuit of degrees which they might not otherwise be able to afford.
The application process begins at the beginning of Michaelmas Term (October) 2010, with our first awards scheduled for January 2011.
We also welcome support from interested charities and corporate sponsors who support our aims and objectives.
Get Involved
Fundraising for the fund primarily operates at a grassroots level as we firmly believe in the principle that communities should lead the way in supporting and empowering their own.
As an example, if each member of the African and Caribbean Alumni community worldwide, made an annual donation of just £100, we would have more than enough to support the success of each eligible applicant within the current academic year. While you are more than welcome to make this and larger pledges, we are sensitive to the fact that these are difficult times and are currently requesting minimum donations of £25.
We also welcome support from interested charities and corporate sponsors who support our aims and objectives.
You can help by:
- Spreading the word among your personal network (social, academic and professional);
- Volunteering for fundraising events - large or small;
- Pledging an annual donation to the fund.

Thanks in advance for your support.
