DIT Foundation Grant Round

Aside from Individual Academic supports DIT Foundation donors are also committed to funding various educational projects, campus life initiatives and sporting projects which make a difference to our students and our community.

With the help and generosity of our donors DIT Foundation supports projects in the following areas: student educational support, student services (including clubs and societies), excellence in teaching and research and community projects.

Every donation helps to build up our fund so that we can make a real difference that reaches far beyond our campuses.
