Your Impact: Why It Matters
At RIT Kosovo (A.U.K), talent is universal, but opportunity is not. With 65% of our student body depending on financial aid to access a world-class American education, your support is the key that unlocks potential. This gala is our most important initiative to ensure that the brightest minds can become the visionary leaders, driven innovators, and transformative entrepreneurs Kosovo needs.
This is more than a fundraiser, it is a testament to what our community can achieve together. We will celebrate the profound impact of our alumni while investing in the students who will shape tomorrow.
